Project Details
Abonmarche partnered with the City of Goshen Parks and Recreation Board and staff to complete an INDR compliant 5-year Parks and Recreation Master Plan. This Master Plan will be used to guide the City’s actions and priorities over the next 5 years. The existing conditions review, public engagement, and needs analysis was used to establish the goals, and action plan for the Parks and Recreations Department. The Needs Analysis section provides a summary of potential projects while the priorities and action section including proposed projects, and potential costs associated with improvements over the next five years.
The Master Plan meets eligibility requirements for the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) grant. The LWCF grant can be used for a variety of projects including land acquisition and developing new parks or to make needed improvements to existing parks. In addition, the Master Plan can increase Goshen’s ability to obtain funds from other sources as the Plan demonstrates support of the identified projects by local leaders and residents.
