Sullivan 180 announced the recent completion of three Silver Feather Community Impact Grant projects, each transforming public spaces in western Sullivan County. These initiatives were led by municipalities in partnership with dedicated volunteer organizations, in collaboration to build a healthier, more vibrant Sullivan County. Each of project reflects Sullivan 180’s mission to build a healthier community through people-centered spaces, access to recreation, youth engagement, and community collaboration.

 In Callicoon, a 2019 $75,000 Silver Feather Grant helped the Town of Delaware restore the historic Callicoon Train Depot into a welcoming hub for visitors and residents. Through a close partnership with the Callicoon Business Association, Callicoon Depot Inc., and the Upper Delaware Scenic Byway, the project revived a long-underutilized building and created a space that celebrates local history while supporting year-round community activity.

 In the Town of Highland, a 2021 Silver Feather Grant of $100,000 supported a series of improvements to river access points along the Delaware. The project included an activity path connecting the Eagle Observation Area to the Roebling Bridge and historic D&H Canal Tow Path, plus new green space, gardens, signage, and bike and canoe racks. 

 Most recently, the Town of Delaware received a 2024 Silver Feather Grant of $100,000 to build new pickleball and basketball courts at the Delaware Youth Center. The project strengthens recreational opportunities for all ages and encourages multi-generational activity.

 These projects highlight what is possible when municipalities and community organizations work together toward a shared vision. The collective impact is not just in the beautiful spaces created, but in the healthier, more connected communities that grow around them.
