Lawrence County Commissioners used a Friday press conference to announce the name of a planned park in Proctorville: Todd DeGarmo Park. According to the announcement, the park honors Todd DeGarmo, who designed it and previously lived in the community.
The site covers more than 50 acres in the Union/Rome area. The source did not describe amenities, construction schedules, costs or an opening date.
Commissioners also presented a recreation plan covering all of Lawrence County. The plan's stated goals are to build on the county's natural and cultural assets, upgrade public amenities that already exist, propose projects that widen residents' access to recreation, and link current and future projects through a multimodal route network.
Funding is expected to come through federal and state programs, the commissioners said. The source did not include dollar figures or a timeline. Additional information was referred to a link the station published with its report.
