TERRE HAUTE, Ind. (WTWO/WAWV) — Several parks in the Wabash valley will see improvements thanks to financial support from Duke Energy.
The company is donating 40 thousand dollars to the Vermillion and Vigo County Parks Departments. In Vigo County, the funding will be used to remove invasive species at the Bicentennial Park in West Terre Haute. The goal is to give visitors a better view of the wetlands.
Meanwhile, the Vermillion County Parks Department will use its funding to create a new playground at Dana Park and add exercise stations to Perrysville Park.
Becky Holbert, Vermillion County Parks Department commented, “Investing in parks in general, it really improves the quality of life, especially for rural counties. We’re trying to instill in families and all citizens actually to get out and enjoy the parks.”
Both parks departments plan to get started on these improvement projects soon.
