Park Development
This acquisition project was successfully nominated by Greenwood citizens
through the Pro Parks Levy Opportunity Fund process. As Friends of Greenwood
Park noted: "Criteria included in the levy focused the Opportunity Fund
in areas that were underserved by parks, and areas experiencing increased
growth, particularly in urban villages and Neighborhood Revitalization areas
such as Greenwood."
This Opportunity Fund acquisition project acquired additional property
to expand the park.
