Amazing news: Land and Water Conservation Funds were used to purchase an ENTIRE ACRE parcel of land. It includes the current Harry Berry Park AND the parking area west of Harry Berry Park. There are 43,560 square feet in an acre.
This means that 43,560 square feet are protected and can't be modified or changed or converted in any way without first getting approval. The approval would be an application process as well as a public comment period. The DEP has now notified the City that this would be considered a Conversion of Use and would need approval from the National Park Service.

This is BIG! 

Don't forget to come to the Arts Park in Young Circle on November 10th at 6 PM for Commission in the Community. The mayor and all of the city commissioners will be there for you to express your opinion in person. Bring a lawn chair or blanket to sit on. No single-use plastics.
