Powder Springs will hold “a Demolition Commencement Ribbon Cutting Ceremony” at 11 a.m. April 17 at the city’s Downtown Development Project Amenity site at 4485 North Town Square.

For $95,471, Southern Environmental Services, Inc. will fence and destroy the former commercial structure.

The new park will feature a bicycle trail head with connectivity to the Silver Comet Trail and the city’s Lucille and Wild Horse trails, an interactive water feature, a performance space, outdoor ping pong tables, outdoor cafe tables and chairs and an earthen sitting berm.
