Stockbridge approved the purchase of 2.87 acres of property for The Reeves Creek Trail project.
A trail connection and trailhead adjacent to Flippen Road will be constructed with a 20-space parking lot.
A nine-foot wide concrete trail would begin there and continue about 700 feet east, where it will connect to the existing Reeves Creek Trail.
The trail will be 1.5 miles and paid for with a $416,000 grant from the Georgia Department of Transportation, which will be matched by $104,000 from the city. Monroe Roark for the AJC
