Additional research will to be completed to determine current usage, <br />expected usage of an upgraded park, nearby facilities and usage at those facilities. The current location <br />should be re-evaluated to confirm if this location is optimal or if another location would be better. <br />Additional research was needed to secure funding sources/grants, etc. It was determined that the data <br />gathering should begin in the Spring of 2022, then obtain community feedback and then request RFP's, <br />with construction beginning in 2023.
