The $1,000,000.00 grant, as awarded by TPWD, includes Federal participation in the amount of$740,736.00 and State participation in the amount of$259,264.00. This grant will provide for the first phase development of improvements at Alliance Park, an approximately 154 acre tract of land located at 1417 Litsey Road, in far north Fort Worth. On March 24, 2015, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 4429-03-2015 authorizing the Park and Recreation Department (PARD) to apply for an Urban Outdoor Recreation Grant from the TPWD. The application was successful, and on March 24, 2016, the Texas Parks and Wildlife Commission approved the issuance of$1,000,000.00 in grant funding to the City of Fort Worth for the development of Alliance Park. In accordance with the TPWD grant application structure, an in-kind grant match is required. For the in- kind match, the PARD has leveraged $1,000,000.00 of Park Dedication Fee Funds to acquire land for Alliance Park. This follows the City's fiscal policy regarding use of Park Dedication Fee Funds. This is a reimbursement grant. No indirect costs are applicable.
