North Park Renovations |
||
The city received a state grant to restore and enhance North Park from funds earmarked mainly for properties on the National Historic Register. North Park has been on the register since 1983. Much of the first part of the restoration will involve walkways, improvements to existing structures and planting of trees. The grant award is one of the first steps toward implementation of the city’s newly adopted Open Space and Recreation Plan. |
