Final Week To Take The Reid Park Master Plan Survey - View the final Reid Park Master Plan concept, developed with community feedback over the last eight months, and take the online survey to give input on your priorities for funding future improvements at the park. The Master Plan is important to ensure that available resources are allocated efficiently and to the items of the highest priority. As future/ongoing reinvestments in the park are made, different funding sources will be used, as appropriate, for the project. State, federal, and local grants; private and nonprofit partnerships; and bonds are all likely sources of funding for capital improvements. The survey will close next Monday, Dec. 19, at 11:59 p.m. Visit the park project website links below for more information.
