(Atlantic) Atlantic Splashpad Project Manager Mike Jorgensen, of Snyder and Associates will present the final plans and specifications at the Atlantic City Council meeting on Wednesday night.
The original specifications identified the project as approximately 4,000 to 5,000 sq. ft. and showcased various water features, shade structures, and seating. The Splash Pad will be on the west side of the Sunnyside Swimming Pool and will be free to use.
To date, $450,000 has been raised for the Splash Pad Project.
Splashpad Committee member Ali Pieken, appearing at the February 6 City Council meeting, stated the committee had applied for a Cass County Community Foundation Grant. If that and the CAT grant come through, the total would be $571,890. The estimate for the project is $673,000, leaving a gap of $101,185. Pieken also noted that Rolling Hills Bank said in addition to their $10,000 donation, they would be willing to carry a loan at two percent interest.
The meeting starts at 5:30 in the City Council Chambers at City Hall.
