District Development

In 2008 the Tuscaloosa County Commission allocated $200,000 to the Tuscaloosa County Park & Recreation Authority’s four districts for development. Each district received $50,000 to be spent during the fiscal year. Since 1995, the District Development program has contributed $1,946,110.88 to community projects and the community has contributed $2,636,689.83 in matching funds.

 

District Advisory Committees represent each of the four districts with a cross section of citizens serving on the committees that review project requests. The committees make their recommendations to the PARA Board of Directors, and final approval is made by the Tuscaloosa County Commission.
