Budget PlanningParks & RecreationDetected Jun 22, 2026

Ligonier’s June 22, 2026 additional appropriations notice includes significant new funding for Park & Recreation and Park Non-Reverting funds. The Park & Rec fund adds $13,000 for personnel (director, admin assistant, staff wages and longevity), while the Park Non-Reverting fund adds $41,800 for concessions supplies, program supplies, trophies and t‑shirts, officials, instructors, timekeepers, postage, advertising, deposit refunds, and other services. These appropriations indicate an expansion of recreation programming, leagues, and concessions rather than a single capital project, with potential needs for apparel/trophies, recreational supplies, marketing/advertising, and program instructors.Vendors that support youth sports leagues, parks programming, concessions operations, and small-scale marketing can approach the department to align offerings with the newly funded categories once the appropriations are approved.

Park Non-Reverting line items include concessions, apparel/trophies, officials, instructors, timekeepers, and advertising, indicating active league or program operations.
