The Edwin J. Wadas Foundation, Inc. recently announced $101,508.96 grant to Arc Herkimer.
This grant will provide for the installation of a new turf surface and dugouts at the Basloe Field Little League infield at Arc Park. The new turf will allow children of all abilities a surface to play baseball, softball, kickball and more.

Inclusive play spaces are a valuable asset to communities allowing children of all ages and abilities to thrive.” said Victoria Cataldo, foundation’s executive director.
