Pyne Road Park campsites will receive a few upgrades thanks to a grant received by Troup County through the Georgia Department of Natural Resources, according to the Daily News.
Troup County Manager Eric Mosley informed the Troup County Board of Commissioners the county had received the Land and Water Conservation Fund grant through the National Park Service (NPS). The grant was designed for renovations at Pyne Road Park and will be used to upgrade the campsite, Mosley said.
The grant will be used to upgrade the electrical hookups at the campsites for RVs, fire pits, parking pads, the restrooms and to resurface some of the parking lots.
Mosley said the grant is for $200,000, and there is a $25,000 matching grant needed from the county. He said there are SPLOST dollars available, which are set aside for the match requirement for Pyne Road Park. The board approved using those funds for the project.
Mosley said the funds from the grant are very much-needed for the facilities.
“Our campsites stay full throughout the summer,” he said. “And we’re thankful to be able to have this to be able to improve our facility.”
