Village studies Flat Rock park costs and foundation plan
A village committee outlined funding needs for a Flat Rock park including volunteer staffing options, full and part time managers, and an eight year grant strategy totaling about two million dollars. The plan recommends forming the Village of Flat Rock Recreational Foundation to pursue grants and donations and to oversee fundraising with a consultant if needed. Council members urged detailed cost analysis and held that public hearings will precede any vote. The village has 4.9 million in reserves and a 1.67 million annual budget.
