APRIL 19, 1993 Heritage Park is that parcel of park land south of Quincy Street, adjacent to C.R. 21. The Centennial Committee had plans to develop Heritage Park with their sale of bricks. However, there was not enough bricks sold to finance the development. However, there were committments made to individuals who bought the bricks that the bricks would be installed at the park. At the time of the Centennial Brick Sale, it was the hope of the Centennial Committee that there would be enough bricks sold to develop both the Centennial Plaza and Heritage Park. with that philosophy, bricks were sold to residents and they had their choice of locations for installation. Now. the Centennial has come and gone, Centennial Plaza is a reality, but nothing has been completed at Heritage Park. The Centennial Committee has approximately $800 left that can be allocated for this project. Development costs for Heritage Park are as follows: Grading and seeding Plantings Sidewalk Benches $1000 1000 5000 500 $7500 Park maintenance staff would do most of the development of the site.
