I was thrilled to announce $325,000 in state funding awarded to the Town of Rye for Crawford Park with Assemblyman Steve Otis on August 2.  The $200,000 I secured through the State and Municipal Facilities Program (SAM) will be used to improve the ball fields, which are used for football, baseball, softball, volleyball and softball. The project includes adding ADA compliant bleachers, sport benches, a chain link backstop and water bottle filling station, and will increase youth access to healthy outdoor recreation. The $125,000 secured by Assemblyman Otis will be used to reconstruct the one-mile trail that circumnavigates the park – increasing accessibility and addressing safety concerns of visitors.  Thank you to Town Supervisor Gary Zuckerman and the Town of Rye for your continued commitment to making Crawford Park a hub for all residents and surrounding community members to enjoy.
