The Adair County Fiscal Court will be receiving a grant totaling $65,300 to go towards the poured-in-place surface portion of the new playground that will be installed at the Jim Blair Recreation Center. This grant is from the Waste Tire Trust Fund established by the General Assembly in 1998.
Adair County Judge Executie Gale Cowan said she was hopeful Adair County would receive some funding to go towards this cost, but was surprised we received as much as we did. Judge Cowan wants to thank everyone who wrote letters of support for the grant, to the Kentucky Division of Waste Management, and Lisa Evans - Grants Administrator for the Recycling & Local Assistance Branch. Cowan goes on to say that hopefully this will give Adair County enough reserve to add the much needed fence to this project.
