Community Garden Grant Application '09 Not Funded

The Grant was not Funded

Regretfully, the Community Garden was not awarded a grant.  One of the issues working against it was that the garden would have been a use of the Park that was outside of the current City policy for park uses.  That is not to say there's no chance for this in the future.  It only means that there more spadework to do with Parks & Rec.

Here's the message from Shauna to Mark Lymer:
