NICE, Calif. – The Lake County Public Services Department is asking for community members to take part in a survey that will support the department’s effort to develop Nice’s Hammond Avenue Park.
Public Services reported that it’s in the process of preparing a grant application to construct a sports field and restrooms at the park.
That grant funding is critical to development of Hammond Avenue Park, and it will be strengthened by community members’ responses on the survey, the department reported.
The survey can be found at http://www.co.lake.ca.us/Government/Directory/PublicServices/2012RecSurvey.htm . Completing the survey shouldn't take more than 10 minutes.
The online survey needs to be submitted no later than Wednesday, Oct. 24, as the grant deadline is Nov. 1.
Scoring for this Land and Water Conservation grant is based on the results of a statewide California Outdoor Recreation Plan survey conducted in a 2008. Proposals addressing urban priorities – open space, access to nature – will earn the most points.
Community members also are asked to forward the link for the survey to their friends to help expand the response as much as possible.
