Augusta agencies will receive more than $10 million in state grants to improve local roads and parks. The grants, totaling more than $225 million statewide, are intended to fund 'improving or maintaining recreational facilities" or 'for repair or maintenance due to significantly greater use of public facilities during the pandemic.' Three of the grants are for Augusta-Richmond County's government: $2.2 million for May Park improvements; $1,766,336 for 'improvements to a central connector in the downtown Augusta community'; $1,669,031.
