Body
SUMMARY & BACKGROUND:
The Toledo Lucas County Police Athletic League, Inc. (“PAL”) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 1996 as a delinquency prevention program that relies heavily upon athletic, recreational, and educational programs to create a bond between the Toledo Police Department, The Lucas County Sheriff’s Office, and youth in the community. PAL currently operates at 1111 E. Manhattan, one of the underserviced areas of the community. The property is owned by the City of Toledo and leased to PAL. This location currently has a substantial underdeveloped green space at the southeast corner of the facility. PAL is proposing the development of a new multipurpose little league field to be utilized for multiple recreational sports teams and leagues. PAL was assisted in its planning efforts by the Local Initiatives Support Corporation through the ESPN/Replay $10,000 implementation grant. This opportunity allowed PAL to gather data and important feedback through a series of five community outreach engagements. Through these engagements, community residents provided PAL their thoughts and ideas for the implementation of a new multipurpose field in the community. PAL will contribute $80,000 toward the cost of the project. Upon completion of construction, PAL will operate the facility.
