According to the Flint Journal, Mayor Brown has reinstated Kay Kelly as the project director for Kearsley Park, and the grant is restored.
Hurray! |

| Now, about the rest of the parks - or don't they count? |

Of course they count. I just personally don't know anything about any of them except Kearsley Park.
Do any other city parks have mott foundation grants? |

Dave,
Did you see that Landbank wants the Chevy in the Hole to possibly make it into a park? I thought to myself, are they kidding? They don't even mow the properties they own now. It would be a wildlife refuge before we could blink our eyes. |

At this point, I think the existing parks should be tended to before any more are created. It would be nice if the former industrial sites were cleaned but kept to encourage new factory building if the opportunity ever arises.
However, the contamination of the Chevy in the Hole site might require it to remain a "green space" for a certain period before anything can be built upon it again, so turning it into a "park" might not be a bad idea. |

| I agree a park would be nice. The problem is that Kearsly Park is the ONLY park that is maintained. The other parks will go the entire summer without being mowed. Why would this one be any different? I don't see any good coming out of this if Landbank gets the property. They already stated that they were overloaded with the property they already own. |

I don't think so. I'm surprised the concrete aka Riverbank Park doesn't get a lot of funding though since it is downtown. |

Without an extremely expensive cleanup, the only use i can think of for Chrvy in the hole would be as a park. Since there's no money for maintenance, it could be called a "Natural Wildlife Area".
BTW, what ever happened to the intermodal idea for the Buick City site? |
