Representatives from the Besser Foundation, Alpena Alcona Area Credit Union, Alpena Public Schools, Alcona Community Schools, Rotary Club of Alpena, Dean Transportation, and Sinclair Recreation joined AMA ESD Board of Education members and staff to gather at Ella White Elementary School to celebrate the completion of the ADA Playground Initiative.
The total project cost for Phase I and Phase II was just over $200,000 and would not have been possible without the support of the following donors:
Besser Foundation
First Federal Legacy Foundation
The Alpena County Youth and Recreation Fund (APS Sites)
Alpena Alcona Area Credit Union
Community Foundation for Northeast Michigan
Dean Transportation
Rotary Club of Alpena
United Way of Northeast Michigan
Phase I installation was completed last summer at Hillman Community Schools, Atlanta Community Schools, and Alcona Community Schools. Phase II installation was completed last month at each Alpena Public School elementary campus. In total, 9 playgrounds received these important additions.
