Casey County gets Rubber Mulch Projects grant

Casey was one of 23 counties to be awarded grant monies for projects using recycled rubber. $17,957 will be given to the City of Liberty, Lake Liberty Park for picnic tables and a wheelchair accessible picnic table.

The grants are from the Waste Tire Trust Fund, established by the 1998 General Assembly, which receives $2 from the retail sale of each new tire in the state. The fund helps manage the approximately 5 million scrap tires generated in Kentucky each year and promotes the development of markets for recycled tire products.


"With projects like these, we are creating a new Kentucky," Gov. Beshear said. "We are backing innovative solutions that support important values of sustainability and concern for the next generation."

Projects range from park benches, picnic tables, landscaping, parking curbs, poured-in-place surfacing projects for walking trails, poured-in-place running track and poured-in-place playgrounds that use recycled waste tires.
