Letters of Support Requested for Park
|
Dear Resident or Visitor of Atlantic Beach,
We need your help!
The Town is in the process of applying for a $500,000 grant from the Parks and Recreation Trust Fund to help assist with costs associated with Phase One of Atlantic Beach Commons. For those who may not be familiar with this project, it is a 3-phase park that will be located at the old Coral Bay Shopping Center.
The first phase of this project includes a variety of amenities to fulfill recreational gaps left by the private sector. We hope this park, when completed, eliminates the comment, "There is nothing to do in Atlantic Beach."
The entire park is designed with a nautical theme unique to our coastal town. It has been designed in direct response to feedback from our 2010 recreational needs survey, and provides multi-generational amenities. We feel this park will provide enjoyment not only to residents and visitors of Atlantic Beach, but to all of Carteret County.
Highlights of the first phase include an i8-hole miniature golf course, playground equipment, 4 "skate dots" (smaller skateboarding features), a "skating wall" (a bench on one side with skating features on the other), a portion of a walking trail, 4 fitness stations, a sunshade, a new picnic area, landscaping features and restrooms.
We are collecting as many letters of support for this park as possible. These letters will be packaged and sent to all1S members of the decision making board. You can help us by writing a brief letter asking the authority to please support Phase One of Atlantic Beach Commons, and by noting why you feel the park is needed in our community.
Letters will be accepted through the end of March and may be sent to Jessica Fiester, Planning Director, Town of Atlantic Beach, PO Box 10, Atlantic Beach, NC 28512. They may also be emailed to planner@atlanticbeach-nc.com. You do not need to own property in AB to support the grant application.
Thank you for your help! |
