Legislation would provide grand funds to county parks department

Legislation supported by State Sen. Kim LaSata could land a significant grant to a St. Joseph County department.

LaSata recently voted for Michigan Natural Resources Trust Fund legislation, which would help support projects in Berrien and St. Joseph counties.

If signed into law by Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, the legislation would provide St. Joseph County Parks and Recreation Department $50,000 to make renovations at Rawson’s King Mill Park.

LaSata said the Natural Resources Trust Fund is a great way to support and enhance recreational opportunities for Southwest Michigan residents and its visitors.

As approved, House Bill 4469 would allocate a total of nearly $37.8 million for 46 recreational development and 30 land acquisition projects throughout the state.
