CPA Projects – Detailed Report

This proposal seeks funds to resurface and refurbish the basketball courts at Mill River Recreation Area. The two courts are in extremely poor condition. The surface needs to be replaced, treated and sealed. Courts need to be relined and painted. Hoops structures are unstable and need to be removed, stabilized and reset in their foundations.  All 4 backboards need to be replaced and finally, two new 8’ hoops will be installed to encourage more children and youth to utilize the facility. The improvements are part of an ongoing effort to modernize Mill River Recreation Area. Last year a $50,000 appropriation was given but will not be sufficient as it was discovered the entire subsurface will need to be replaced in order to complete the job properly and make the courts last.
