Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR) Grant

West Norriton Township, in conjunction with East Norriton Township, submitted a grant application to DCNR's Community Conservation Partnership Program for the development of a master site plan for the property. The purpose of the master site plan is to perform a site-specific study that includes, site information and analysis, and analysis of activities, facilities, maintenance, and operations. Typically these studies lead to completion of a site development drawing in conformance with current design standards and cost estimates for the full development or redevelopment of a park or other recreational-use site.

A Request for Proposal (RFP) was developed based on DCNR's model. After review of the submitted proposals and interviews with the Project Study Committee, Remington, Vernick & beach was awarded the contract to create the master site plan.
