Coconino County presented a $50,000 check to City of Page for Grandview Knoll Project
You may start seeing some things change with the project at Grandview Knoll. On January 23, Coconino County Supervisor Lena Fowler, along with Coconino County Manager James Jayne, Parks and Recreation Director Cynthia Nemeth, and Steve Mongrain presented the City of Page with a $50,000 check from Coconino County for assistance with the Grandview Knoll project. The money is a grant from Coconino County and will be used for the construction of sidewalks, shade structures, and more.
Immediately after the presentation of the check, the City Council voted unanimously to approve a job order contract for construction services with Lake Powell Construction for the Grandview Knoll project. In this instance, the City is acting as a pass through for the grant funds provided by Coconino County for this project. The remaining monies and construction services will be provided by the Canyon Club and Friends of Lake Powell, who have decided to utilize Lake Powell Construction for general contracting services for the project.
We would like to clarify a misconception that was addressed the night of January 23 regarding the City’s involvement in this project. The City of Page is providing in-kind services through the Public Works Department to this project. Some of the in-kind contributions the City is providing include equipment, demolition, and man hours.
The Grandview Knoll Stakeholders Committee is looking for other donations from Page community members, including those who are skilled in construction and other areas of design and willing to donate their time and abilities.
