Middlesex Township will receive a $10,000 grant from the Butler County Parks Renovation Program to support the playground construction project at the Middlesex Township Community Park.

The township had approved an application for the grant in February.

Township manager Adam Hartwig said the funds would be used as part of a cash match required for the previous larger grant received by the township for the planned playground, a $204,500 grant from the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources.
