The town of Montross is applying for federal funding to help pay for its new park. According to Westmoreland News the Town Council passed a resolution authorizing Mayor Terry Cosgrove and Town Manager Patricia Lewis to seek the $150,000 grant to finance the construction of a structure to be used for activities, such as farmer’s markets. Earlier this year the town signed a 20-year lease for a space next to the Rappahannock Regional Library branch for a dollar per year.
