DeKalb buys land for park in Oak Grove

The DeKalb County Commission recently agreed to buy about 4 acres of land for a park in the Oak Grove area of central DeKalb.

The county will spend up to $880,000 for the property on Chrysler Drive, near Briarcliff Road. The funding will come from the 2001 parks bond.

The county's initial plans call for a park and passive green space.
