Grant for Glenwood Senior Activity Center

The Central Arkansas Development Council Glenwood Senior Activity Center was recently awarded a grant in the amount of $2,852 from West Central Arkansas Planning and Development District (WCAPDD). The grant will be used to make improvements to the parking lot area of the CADC Glenwood Senior Activity Center.

The WCAPDD General Improvement Fund grant program provides funding for community and economic development projects within its ten county service area. The Arkansas House of Representatives appropriated funding to WCAPDD for the grant program to assist local communities with their community and economic development needs.

Dwayne Pratt, WCAPDD Executive Director, commented, “West Central Arkansas Planning and Development is happy to be able to provide funding assistance for these improvements to the senior center, which will allow for much needed repairs to the parking area. The GIF program is supported by Rep. Randy Stewart and the Arkansas House of Representatives and is working to fund much needed community development projects throughout our ten county service area.”

Rep. Stewart added, “I am happy to be able to support our local senior activity center to provide a more suitable parking area for the senior adults who utilize the center and benefit from the services they provide. I appreciate Pike County Judge Don Baker for his willingness to help with this project by providing equipment and materials."
