$25,000 Grant to Aid in Developing Two Hartland Township Parks $25,000 Grant to Aid in Developing Two Hartland Township Parks

1/21/14 - The process to develop two parks owned by Hartland Township is expected to move a bit faster thanks to a recent grant award. Hartland Township received confirmation that it was awarded a $25,000 grant from Enbridge Energy for future development of Hartland Heritage Park and Settlers Park, both of which are owned by the municipality. A key component of the township’s recently approved strategic plan is a master plan for the two. Hartland Heritage Park is located on M-59, west of Fenton Road and features multiple football, soccer and lacrosse fields. It’s maintained in partnership with Hartland Area Youth Athletic Association and the Hartland Community Soccer Association. Settlers Park is located behind the Township Hall on Clark Road and features a one-mile walking path. Supervisor Bill Fountain says the grant will allow the transition from planning to delivery more quickly as it moves forward in creating a road map for development opportunities at the parks. (JM)
