Pike And Martin Counties Receive Funding For The Purchase of Rubber Crumbs.
Pike and Martin Counties were among 43 throughout the commonwealth that were awarded funding for the purchase of crumb rubber.
The grants are from the Waste Tire Trust Fund, established by the 1998 General Assembly.
Crumb rubber is a product made from recycled tires.
Crumb rubber is being used at playgrounds replacing wood chips.
The goal is to make playgrounds safer.
Pike County was awarded $ 35,062. The material will be placed at the Pike County Central multi use athletic field.
Martin County had two projects funded. $ 40,000 for the Eden Elementary playground and $ 23,250 for the playground at Warfield Elementary.
