The governor’s office has announced funding through Land and Water Conservation Fund grants to enhance accessibility and upgrade parks and recreation spaces throughout the commonwealth.
Several of those are in the Pennyrile region, with Princeton receiving $250,000 to revitalize two baseball/softball fields at the City-County Park. Fencing needs to be replaced, as well as the dugout structures, bleachers and utility poles for lighting.
Mortons Gap will use $30,000 to purchase and install accessible playground equipment for the city park. The project also includes rubber surfacing and the burial of one utility line.
