Description

This project funds parkland acquisitions that serve residents in all areas of the County and in all park types. This project covers the cost of land plus acquisition expenses such as land surveys, appraisals, settlement expenses, and other acquisition-related costs. The project also funds expenses to make new parkland safe and secure upon acquisition, e.g. removing attractive nuisances, demolitions, interim improvements, posting properties, securing structures, cleaning up sites, etc. Acquisitions can include new parks or additions to existing parks. To the extent possible, the Commission acquires parkland through dedication at the time of subdivision; however, to meet all parkland needs in a growing and changing County, this method must be supplemented by a direct land purchase program.
