Three Anderson County recreation projects were awarded funding by the Anderson County Legislative Delegation at its meeting held October 25th:
$40,000 in funding from SCRPT’s PARD grant program for development of a pavilion/shelter area to be installed at the Hurricane Springs Park pickleball courts. The addition of the new shelter is a result of direct input from pickleball players and other park patrons.
$100,000 from SCDNR’s Water Recreation Resource Fund to support installation of a water access ramp and other elements at Piedmont Riverfront Park. This contribution will be used in conjunction with a recently-announced $500,000 Land and Water Conservation Fund award to develop Phase I of this exciting new access point and nature park on the Saluda River Blue Trail.
$100,000 from the Water Recreation Resource Fund to support installation of water access ramp and associated eligible infrastructure at Belton Landing off of Cooley Bridge Road. Developed in partnership with the City of Belton, this facility serves as a key anchor location for the Saluda River Blue Trail.
Anderson County Council Chair Tommy Dunn said: “We are truly grateful for the Delegation’s continuing support of our efforts to provide a variety of quality recreational opportunities for citizens throughout our community.”
