Shreve receives funds to upgrade Harold D. Miller Park
The Village of Shreve recently announced that its Harold D. Miller Park has received funding in the amount of $300,000 as part of the Capital Budget projects across Senate District 31.
The project will seek to create a welcoming hub for residents and visitors of all ages, promoting social interaction and environmental consciousness. Through thoughtful design and strategic planning, the Village of Shreve aspires to transform the park into a focal point that reflects the community’s values and contributes to the overall quality of life for its residents and visitors.
The Harold D. Miller Park project includes:
—Upgrading recreational facilities
—Enhancing green spaces
—Implementing sustainable features
—Adding a pavilion/stage area for future Shreve Festivals and Events, preventing the closure of downtown state Route 226 during events
—Creating two parking areas off Market and Wells Streets for accessibility
—Lighting the grounds for safety
—Installing power and water service through underground trenching to panels located at intervals throughout the property for festivals and events
—Drainage and culverts as needed.
The funding comes in the second phase of the process, following the recent announcement of a $350 million investment by the Senate in Ohio communities from the One-Time Strategic Community Investment Fund, of which Shreve received an award of $1.75 million towards the total project cost of $2.5 million for the Waste Water Treatment Plant’s new Aeration System project.
State Senator Al Landis (R-Dover) has confirmed the allocation of millions of dollars to key projects within the district.
“I am deeply appreciative to see these worthwhile projects get substantial funding in this budget,” said Landis. “We can expect to see considerable improvements in our district’s business climate and health and public safety services.”
“The funding for Harold D. Miller Park is a vital step forward in enhancing our local amenities and providing a beautiful space for our residents to enjoy,” said Shreve Mayor Josiah Martin. “This investment will not only improve our park but also strengthen the sense of community and well-being in Shreve.”
