The grant decision means the proposed benches, kiosk, and related improvements will not receive that funding at this time. The group also discussed a new Memory Café, increased medical transportation grant funding for fiscal years 2026 and 2027, a $2.7 million Warren Wright Road culvert replacement grant, and a proposed $78,000 senior-center van, with nearly $30,000 donated toward the van.
