The eight communities of the PARRC region were awarded a total of $233,400 in grant funding and private donations the for the first quarter of 2024. Most of the funding came from the Pottstown Metropolitan Regional Planning Commission (PMRPC) Minigrant Program for new park and recreation projects.

A private donation of $60,000 was awarded to the PARRC Foundation for PARRC communities that will cover multiple park projects across the region. The new funding gives the Pottstown area municipalities the opportunity to continue to revitalize, improve and expand its recreational resources, and we are excited to provide updates as the new projects are implemented.
