Milton park community meeting

There will be two public input meetings on June 6 and June 27 to discuss proposals for the Bell Memorial Park expansion project in Milton. Both will be at Milton’s City Hall, 13000 Deerfield Parkway, Suite 107, Milton, Ga. 30004 at 7 p.m.

The city of Milton paid $1.287 million for 14 acres of land last September that more than doubled the size of Bell Memorial Park after a unanimous City Council vote. The council approved Foresite Group’s bid for the park’s master plan design and construction services in March.
