We made it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Decatur Mayor Dan Rickord said Friday that the city’s capital campaign to fund the Kekionga Project has reached its goal of $50,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Indiana Housing and Community Development Authority (IHCDA)’s CreatINg Places program (also known as Patronicity), will now match that sum, providing a minimum of $100,000 for the three-pronged project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The two-month campaign had a deadline of Saturday in order to earn the matching money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Donations came from businesses, individuals and even the players who use the ball diamond which will be improved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Kekionga Project has three facets: a) Completing a dog park already started at the former site of the Evergreen Assisted Living facility; b) renovating the old ball diamond in Kekionga Park, north of the dog park site; and c) stocking the pond beside the dog park, a popular fishing spot in the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The dog park will be the city’s first.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
