STATE HOUSE – Rep. Alex D. Marszalkowski and Sen. Ryan W. Pearson are highlighting the inclusion of $300,000 in the FY 2020 state budget for continuing improvements of Diamond Hill Park in Cumberland.
“Diamond Hill Park is a treasured asset to the people of Cumberland and the Blackstone Valley and this appropriation of $300,000 included in the budget will ensure that the park remains a beloved part of the community for many future generations to come,” said Representative Marszalkowski (D-Dist. 52, Cumberland).
“Diamond Hill park means so much to the residents of Cumberland and the money included in this year’s budget for its revitalization will continue the park’s improvements so that everyone can enjoy and utilize this important space to the community,” said Senator Pearson (D-Dist. 19, Cumberland, Lincoln).
Both Representative Marszalkowski and Senator Pearson were in attendance to hear the public’s input regarding the project at a meeting held on Thursday, October 3, at the Ski Lodge of the park. The meeting was a planned opportunity for a community conversation on seeking input from residents about their vision to improve the park.
Representative Marszalkowski and Senator Pearson have previously worked with the Department of Environmental Management to secure $300,000 in the FY 2019 state budget for the revitalization of Diamond Hill Park. The funds included in the FY 2020 budget will continue the improvement and revitalization project of Diamond Hill Park.
“We look forward to continuing to be strong partners to the Mayor and the town council as the community brings to life a revitalization of the park. As legislators, we will continue to bring resources home as often as we can and partner with RIDEM, who has been incredibly helpful, led by Director Coit,” concluded Representative Marszalkowski and Senator Pearson.
