Parks Dept. Meeting - 7/27/26

The Vigo County Parks Department held a meeting on July 27, 2026, where several procurement and capital improvement topics were discussed. The board approved claims including payments to Groundworks Construction LLC for $27,500 related to a pump track project and Preferred Construction for $74,900 for trail paving in West Carrollton. Updates were provided on various capital improvement projects such as the completion of the Bicentennial Park trail, sewer work at Fowler, and plans for roadway repairs funded by the Division of Reclamation's abandoned mine lands project at no cost to the county. The department also highlighted significant in-house work on a new disc golf course valued at over $1 million but being built for approximately $100,000. Additionally, the board voted to extend a lease agreement with the state Department of Natural Resources for the Griffin Bike Park public access site, ensuring continued public availability. The meeting included discussions on volunteer efforts, facility maintenance, and upcoming events, but no new contracts or RFPs were announced.
