An entity eligible to receive funds under the Urban County <br />subdivision shall also be eligible to receive funds available under the General Per Capita Program. <br />The minimum allocation is $200,000. <br />For this program, staff is targeting playground improvements at Triunfo Park ($250,000), <br />Southshore Hills Park ($300,000) and Lang Ranch Neighborhood Park ($300,000), for an overall <br />grant request of $850,000.
