Representative James McLean handed Mayor Rick Elumbaugh a $40,000 check on July 31. The Batesville Area Chamber of Commerce successfully applied for the Community Enhancement Grant from the Arkansas Department of Rural Services on behalf of the City of Batesville. The funding will be used to purchase aquatics play structures for the new community center aquatics park.
Mayor Elumbaugh said of the award: “Successful community projects depend on the commitment of local organizations and collaboration between local and state governments. These relationships will keep our community moving forward into a healthy and productive future.”
Representative McLean agreed, saying, “I am proud to support community projects and that continue to promote healthy and active communities.”
The Batesville Area Chamber of Commerce contracts with the City of Batesville to provide grant writing services for community development projects.
