Milton approves survey for new park

The City of Milton has approved the first stage in developing a new 2-acre park on Birmingham Highway between Crabapple Crossing Elementary School and Northwestern Middle School. The City Council approved a $1,250-contract Monday with Land Surveying Holding Corp. for a boundary and topographic survey.

Under a 10-year agreement signed with Fulton County Schools in March, the city gets use of the park providing it makes about $110,000-worth of improvements, including a fitness trail, a basketball court, a pavilion and a playing field.
