The Cass County Board of Supervisors, Wednesday morning, will receive a request from the Atlantic Parks and Recreation Department and Members of the Parks Board, for financial support in advance of an application for a CAT (Community Attraction and Tourism) grant. The grant application is for funds needed for the next phase of improvements at the Schildberg Recreation Area. The Supervisors are expected to act on pledging up to $40,000 as a grant match from the Local Option Sales Tax (LOST) revenues.

Earlier this month, the Atlantic City Council approved a request for $100,000 in support of the $360,000 grant application, which must be submitted to Vision Iowa by April 15th. The Parks and Rec Department must raise $180,000 in 50-percent matching funds in order for the Vision Iowa Board to consider the request for a CAT grant.

The Board of Supervisor’s meeting begins at 8:30-a.m., in their Board Room at the Cass County Courthouse.
