Parks in Progress – Building a Pretty City | S1 E6: Beautification Projects

It’s been a year since we split Parks and Recreation into two departments so we could focus on each separately – beautification and programming. Hear how it’s going, where we’re at with the $1.4M in projects funded, and what citizens can soon look forward to, including pear trees coming back in Pear Orchard and other edible fruit trees planted as a way to combat food deserts around town.
