Pasquotank County has received a $500,000 Parks and Recreation Trust Fund grant to aid the county’s construction of a new park in Newland. A consultant estimated the park will cost about $2.1 million.

 The Daily Advance

Pasquotank has been awarded a state Parks and Recreation Trust Fund grant that will fund half the cost of purchasing land for a park in the Newland community.

Gov. Roy Cooper announced Thursday that the county will receive the $289,000 PARTF grant that will go toward the land acquisition.
