Terry’s Corners Volunteer Fire Company Secures $250,000 Grant from Ralph C. Wilson, Jr. Foundation for Community Park Walking Path Project
GASPORT, N.Y. — Terry’s Corners Volunteer Fire Company is proud to announce a major milestone in the development of its community park initiative. The organization has officially secured a $250,000 grant from the Ralph C. Wilson, Jr. Foundation, bringing total funding secured for the project to 85%.
With this monumental support, Terry’s Corners will soon begin the initial phases of construction on a community walking path project featuring almost 1 mile of paved walking paths. Designed as a dedicated space for health, wellness, and recreation, the project will also incorporate outdoor fitness stations, benches, pet waste stations, and trash cans throughout the site.
"Securing this grant from the Ralph C. Wilson, Jr. Foundation is a huge step forward for our community," said Committee Chairman Nicholas Baes. "We are excited to begin initial phases of construction and bring this community park closer to reality."
While the grant marks significant progress, Terry’s Corners is still actively seeking donations to close the remaining funding gap and complete the project. Individuals, community members, and local businesses interested in supporting the initiative or contributing to the remaining portion are encouraged to reach out directly.
