Fundraising: 6 months into this capital campaign and we've raised $60K of our $200K goal! There is a tentative commitment for another $25K from the Albany County Recreation Board and this project will be eligible for 1:1 matching from Laramie's specific purpose tax funds also tentative. We've put together a letter for potential business donors with hopes of hitting $100K by the end of May. Web Cameras: The Parks department cam through with some extra IT funding this fall and decided to invest in web cams for the skate park. We've created a direct link on this site here. Not sure what the glitch is, but I've found I have to refresh both pages several times to see both images. Indoor space: We have partnered with the Laramie Plains Civic Center and are in the beginning stages of planning the development of the pool space there. The space is nearly 3000 sq. ft. and has a 8'9" deep 65'x20' lap pool in it.
This is an opportunity to make a creative athletic space for Laramie's long winters. We are currently building an exploratory committee to fine tune plans for the space and the proposed business. If you are interested in being part of the process please send us a note. |
