The City of Greensboro will be receiving federal funding in the impressive amount of $6,966,279 for both Parks and Recreation facilities and the J. Douglas Galyon Depot. The US House and Senate Transportation, Housing and Urban Development Appropriations subcommittees voted on the Continuing Resolutions today.

This allocation earmarked for Greensboro will assist with the advancement of the following community projects:

• $4M for the A&Y Greenway
• $1.1M for Bingham Park
• $1M for Windsor Chavis Nocho Community Complex
• $850,000 for the J. Douglas Galyon Depot

“We thank Congresswoman Kathy Manning for playing a key role in our community receiving this much needed funding,” said Greensboro Mayor Nancy Vaughan. “The nearly $7 million dollars will contribute to quality of life projects, such as the Atlantic & Yadkin Greenway, remediating contamination and restoring Bingham Park, improving the historic J. Douglas Galyon Depot, and developing the Windsor Chavis Nocho Community Complex located in east Greensboro.”

The Continuing Resolution for these bills will be sent to President Biden and are set to expire at midnight on Friday, March 8.
