Shade and Seating Make It Easier for Questa Residents To Gather and Connect

  • Local Champion: Village of Questa
  • Date Funded: August 1, 2023
  • Grant Amount: $13,452

The Village of Questa municipal park is open to community members year-round, but there isn’t proper shade protection nor is there adequate seating for residents. Recognizing this, one village staffer reached out to LOR for help purchasing and installing a shade structure so community members are be protected from the sun and other elements.  LOR’s support will also help add seating for community members to encourage use of the new equipment.
