Other exciting news we would like to share is that we will be moving forward with a four-year capital improvement plan. This will help us update some of our older facilities, playgrounds, and pavilions as well as building additional hike and bike trails. In addition, a major component of this plan is to construct a new community park on the southwest side of town.
