A public meeting is being held Tuesday for citizens to give their thoughts on the proposed improvements to HT Custer Park.
The City of Galesburg is holding the public meeting at 6:00 p.m. at King Elementary School with Farnsworth Group, who will be presenting examples of imagery of potential facilities and amenities for feedback from attendees.
The city was awarded an Open Space and Land Acquisition Development (OSLAD) grant in 2022 to make improvements to HT Custer Park.
Improvements being proposed include a playground, picnic shelter, restrooms, multi-use walking path, bicycle training, parking, and a rain/butterfly garden.
Through the OSLAD grant award, $400,000 of this project will be paid for by OSLAD grant funds, with the remaining $400,000 paid for by the City of Galesburg.
Elizabeth Varner, Director of Parks and Recreation, and City Engineer Wayne Carl will also be present to answer questions and provide information.
All citizens are welcome and encouraged to join the meeting to plan for the future of HT Custer Park.
