A2: Skatepark

A post on the Friends of the Ann Arbor Skatepark website reports on the group’s recent fundraising efforts – a benefit at Sava’s restaurant, which brought in $18,000 for the project. From the post: ”The amount raised at this event marks a significant milestone where the organization is financially able to release a Request For Proposals, in coordination with their partners at the City of Ann Arbor, for the design and construction supervision of a permanent skate park amenity at Veteran’s Memorial Park. An RFP committee comprised of FOTAAS members, Washtenaw County Park Commission personnel, Ann Arbor Park Advisory Commission members, and Ann Arbor Parks Staff will now be constituted for that purpose.” [Source]
