Attached is the schedule for upcoming meetings regarding the proposed park in the Brunswick/Jefferson area. The county is proposing a large park on Rt 180 between Olive School Road and Petersville Rd (Rt 79). The original master plan calls for a pool, however, drastic budget cuts have put the pool on hold. The director did tell me that they are still planning a placeholder in the master plan for the pool, so the park will be planned "as if" the pool will be built just might take a little longer to get it in the ground!

Please put the meeting on your schedule and plan to attend. We need all the help we can get and the county is looking forward to citizen input.
