Marylou Laycock, Community Services Program Coordinator from Hillsborough County Office of Neighborhood Relations met this morning with Ron Herb and Sandy Ross to sign the Letter of Understanding, which finalizes the process of awarding the $1500 beautifucation grant to Regency Cove. This grant is made possible by the Hillsborough County Board of Commissioners, Hillsborough County Children's Board, and the Frank E. Duckwall Foundation within the Community Foundation of Tampa Bay.
The grant was written by Sandy Ross and Judy Webb last Spring, and was submitted well before the summer deadline. In October, the park was notified that we had won the full amount. The grant is called A Florida-Friendly Facelife for Boulevard Seven. It involves the use of a jack hammer to break up the cemented stone, installation of a micro-irrigation system, and purchase of dirt, mulch, and Florida friendly plantings to landscape a central eye-catching garden.
Many residents volunteered last Spring to assist in the project. They will be notified, and a kick-off meeting is planned in a few weeks, when our Christmas activities die down.
This project must be completed by August 2009, but we expect it will be finished before the snowbirds fly back home.
