The youth council is set to receive a matching grant to help modernize the park.
(Milan, Ind.) – Ripley County Youth Outreach has reached their fundraising goal to make improvements at Daren Baker Memorial Park.
Approximately one month ago, the Ripley County Community Foundation announced a campaign to raise $10,000 by April 20. With two days left, the Ripley County Youth Council has raised $10,306, which means they will receive a matching grant as part of the Indiana Housing and Community Development Authority’s (IHCDA) My Community, My Vision program.
Plans to modernize Daren Baker Memorial Park include:
- Renovating the main shelter
- Installing art (murals, sculptures)
- Adding WIFI
- Adding modern seating
- Beautifying the landscape
- Adding water bottle filling stations and trash/recycling bins
While the fundraising goal has been met, community members can still make donations until the campaign ends on Thursday.
