SALISBURY One more step for

skaters was made this week when
Salisbury Skate Park Committee
Inc. handed over the promised con-
tribution to the city.

On Monday evening, members of

Salisbury Skate Park Committee,
Inc. came before Mayor Jim Ireton
and the City Council to present a
check for $7,000 to support the con-
struction of park.

"This is a pretty exciting evening.

We have been gathering these
funds for quite some time and anx-
iously awaiting the time we can
hand it over," Maury Humphreys of
Salisbury Skatepark Committee Inc.
said. "I would like to thank all the
people that supported us through all
these years by donating and going
to our events, helping us out and
their donating time."

Community Development Direct-

or Deborah Stam submitted the
Community Parks & Playgrounds
(CP&P) grant application for the
Salisbury Skate Park Phase 1 in-
cluded matching funds in the a-
mount of $7,000 from the Salisbury
Skate Park Committee Inc.

This match was to be provided by

the committee through the proceeds
raised through fundraising efforts.

A resolution on the council's table

was to accept a donation in the a-
mount of $7,000 from the Salisbury
Skate Park Committee Inc. as the
matching funds pledged for the
CP&P grant received from the Mary-
land Department of Natural Re-
sources (DNR) for the first phase.

According to the resolution, "the

city has a large number of youth
and adults that love to go skate-
boarding, but they have nowhere
locally that they can skate. The city
wishes to provide a public skate
park for local youth that is free of
charge, so that they may continue to
enjoy what is becoming an increas-
ingly popular sport."

The council voted 3-0 to approve

the resolution with Council mem-
bers Shanie Shields and Laura Mit-
chell absent.

In June, after six long years, the

City Council approved a grant to be-
gin the process for a modern skate
park facility to be constructed in
Salisbury.

At that time, Stam explained the

DNR had informed the city the
CP&P grant application in the a-
mount of $262,000 for Phase 1 of
the Salisbury Skate Park has been
officially approved by the State
Board of Public Works.

Phase 1 of the skate park project

will include the design of the project,
site preparation work, construction
of the first 6,000 square feet of the
poured-in-place concrete, purchase
and installation of some of the fenc-
ing, the Skate Park Rules/Funding
Acknowledgement sign and a cou-
ple of trash cans.
