The Milton City Council recently approved a pre-application for a Recreational Trails Program Grant with the Department of Natural Resources to construct a new restroom at the trailhead at Birmingham Park, 750 Hickory Flat Road.

Similar to the new restroom at Providence Park, the city is recommending a pre-fabricated ADA compliant restroom at this location.

The project, which would include some tree work, grading, concrete work and utility connection for water, electricity and septic is estimated to cost $400,000.

If approved, this grant has a maximum award of $200,000 and requires a minimum 20% match. Funding is expected to be awarded in the fall of 2024.
