Northern Oklahoma College and Oklahoma State University have partnered together to rejuvenate the area around the Pond on the NOC Enid campus.
Both schools received a $147,000 grant from Oklahoma’s Tobacco Endowment Trust (TSET), which has the goal of improving health through improvements to infrastructure.
TSET Executive Director Julie Bisbee released a statement regarding the environment.
“Our environment impacts our health,” Bisbee said. “Thoughtfully designed downtowns, parks, community centers and other public spaces encourage active lifestyles to keep us moving and healthy. We look forward to seeing how these projects impact communities throughout the state.”
The grant was awarded for the “development of a plan to improve a pond and expand access to recreational opportunities on the Northern Oklahoma College campus.”
