Thanks to the voter-approved Open Space Sales Tax, the Adams County Board of Commissioners awarded almost $3.5 million in open space grants for 17 projects during its May 20 public hearing. “All of the parks receiving a grant today are within neighborhoods and are among the most visited in our entire park system,” said Board of County Commissioners Chair Eva J. Henry. “From recreation center renovations to trail construction, we're funding many different types of projects in this cycle. All of these projects will provide enhanced amenities for Adams County residents.
