AUBURN -- Phase Two of the kayak park is a go.
Auburn officials welcomed a $250,000 grant from New York Secretary of State Christopher Jacobs Tuesday afternoon during his visit to Market Street Park.
Jacobs presented checks to nine other municipalities surrounding Cayuga County.
The additional grant is earmarked for the second stage of the proposed Owasco Riverfront Revitalization Project.
"Right now there are only two stages," said Steve Lynch, director of planning and economic development. "I keep telling them, if they write us more grants, there might be more projects."
The first phase of the proposed river project includes making a kayak run and improving the south side of the waterway.
"Anytime you can separate yourself from other towns, that's great. A kayak park would be great for the city," City Manager John Salomone said.
Construction on the park won't begin until Loop Road is narrowed by one lane between Genesee and North. Engineers plan to have dedicated turning lanes for vehicles turning onto the bounding streets.
