State Senators Patricia Rucker and Jason Barrett presented $50,000 in Local Economic Development Assistance grant funding to Joe Burton, executive director of the Martinsburg-Berkeley County Parks & Recreation Board for the Accessible Playground Project at War Memorial Park.
This funding, combined with a $25,000 contribution from the Eastern West Virginia Community Foundation (EWVCF) W. Randy Smith Family Fund, matches a $75,000 Land and Water Conservation Fund grant for the project that is set to be completed next year.
