$1.5 Million in HUD Funding Rounded Up for Horse Park Project

Congressman Alan B. Mollohan (D-W.Va.) announced on Friday, March 21 that $1.57 million of the latest U.S. Housing and Urban Development (HUD) funding has been set aside for the development of the Horse Park and Multi-Use Event Center at Mylan Park in Morgantown, West Virginia. The project is also slated to receive two additional years of HUD funding, covering a substantial portion of the Phase One development cost. Once fully complete, the Horse Park will be the largest facility of its kind within a five-hour drive of Morgantown. According to Congressman Mollohan, "the Horse Park will be unique to the region, and therefore will further enhance Mylan Park's recreational offerings and its economic impact."

The project is being designed by gh2 GRALLA ARCHITECTS, LLC of Tulsa, Oklahoma. The firm has also provided pre-development planning, marketing, and funding assistance for the Horse Park project over the past 18 months. Construction is expected to start in late summer with the first events being hosted by summer 2004.
