July 26, 2002 Texas Parks & Wildlife Department Recreation Grants Assistance Program 4200 Smith School Road Austin, TX 78744 Re: City of Round Rock submission of an Indoor Recreation Program Grant Application The City of Round Rock, Texas hereby submits the attached application original and three copies for financial assistance in the construction of the City's Indoor Senior Recreation Facility. This grant will utilize funds made available under the Texas Recreation and Parks Account established by an act of the 73 State Legislature in 1973, through House Bill 706. The City is in dire need of this facility. With the tremendous growth the City has experienced in the last ten years, we must have a facility with our older citizens in mind. The proposed facility will be open to everyone, but with a focus to the more senior participants. The facility will be part of the new Municipal Complex. With the placement of the indoor center near the other municipal offices, all city business may be accomplished in one place. Parking will be easily accessible to the new recreation center for the health and safety of its participants. We look forward to working with your staff in the process of reviewing this application.
