Jdarg, I found out more info regarding what you were asking about the de-obligating of park funds. At one time, there was $30,000 allocated by the BCC for funding of Pisces Park (maybe off of Chat Holley Rd), which was never used. Commissioner Meadows requested that the funds be de-obligated from there original intent, and re-obligated to newly planned "Driftwood Park."
Also, there was $50,000 allocated to building a horse park which is not happening. So those funds were approved to be de-obligated, and re-obligated to the funding of Cessna Park.
One other big item in the way of parks in WalCo, I understand that on Tuesday night, the BCC approved roughly $5 Million to be added to $400,000 from the City of Freeport, to build a public Park on Bay Loop Road in Freeport. This park land was donated by Jay Odum, developer of Hammock Bay, and the park will offer many things. I understand that they are looking at changing up a couple of features of the park in order to save a little bit of money, but the park should offer many things to many people in that area. It will be HUGE. It will also be an added benefit to the owners of Hammock Bay, and the near-by subdivisions. Freeport is growing in leaps and bounds, just behind the scenes.
