Members of the Montgomery Industrial Development Board voted to give $100,000 to Montgomery Whitewater Park on Monday.
The new funding was passed at the board’s meeting on Monday.
The park first opened its doors on July 8, 2023, following years of negotiations and a combination of funding from a bond, funded by the county's 2% rental tax, as well as money from the State, County, City and the Poarch Band of Creek Indians.
However, project costs continued to rise throughout the building process, necessitating repeated petitions for additional financing.
The Montgomery County Commission also recently approved up to $1 million in federal COVID-19 relief funds for the park's continued existence.
