Two years after agreeing to locate a county park between Pendergrass and Braselton, the Jackson County Board of Commissioners is getting ready to move forward on development plans for the project.
The BOC heard a request Monday night to approve $17,400 for a master plan for the Mountain Creek Park. The money would come from the Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax recreation revenue.
The BOC will take action on the request to allocate the money for Wood Brothers & Scott Inc. to develop the plan at the June 15 meeting, to be held at 6 p.m. at the courthouse.
The 14-acre site for the park is located at the corner of Brooks Road and Mountain Creek Church Road. The plan will include surveying, grading and erosion control requirements, as well as permitting for grading when construction begins.
Jackson County and Mountain Creek Church entered into a lease agreement in September 2007 for the use of the property as a public park.
The park will be used by church leagues and youth recreation teams. There will be four fields to be used for soccer, football, baseball and softball, as well as a playground, concession stand and walking trail.
