The City of Coatesville will receive a grant of nearly $960,00 to implement the Ash Park Master Plan Phases I and II. The 9.3-acre park is situated between Walnut and Kersey streets. U.S. Senator Bob Casey (D), partnering with U.S. Rep Chrissy Houlahan (D, PA-6), helped procure funding for 14 projects through the Community Project Funding grant, which enables members of Congress to allocate available federal funds to worthy, local projects in a timely manner. Renovations and improvements at the park will include expanded play and recreation areas, a misting station, new landscaping and stormwater infrastructure. “The park will soon serve as a lively centerpiece of our community and especially support our youth,” said Roberta Cosentino, assistant city manager.
