Jackson Co Courthouse
(KNZA)--The Jackson County Commission has approved funding for two parks and recreation projects.
Holton Ball Association Board President Justin Fluke met with the Commission at their April 14 meeting to request $5,500 for a new scoreboard at the upgraded ball fields at Rafters Park in Holton.
Fluke said they are averaging about 20 to 25 teams per year, which includes about 250 players.
With the completion of the renovated fields, he said they plan to host tournaments, which will bring in economic activity for Holton.
Also the Denison Parks and Recreation Committee requested $2,500 to assist with the costs to construct a restroom at their park.
Funding for both requests will come from the county's special parks and recreation fund, which utilizes alcohol tax money.
The Commission also agreed to have both groups added to their annual list of $2,500 appropriations.
