Money set aside for DeKalb park

DeKalb County commissioners recently agreed to set aside $65,000 to plan a new park in Ellenwood.

The county bought the 44-acre parcel on River Road in 2003 but has yet to conduct a site analysis and recreational study for the area. The funding for the study comes from the park bond fund from Commission District 3, which stretches from Decatur to Ellenwood.
