Subject: Chatham County Wins State Grant to Begin Northeastern Park
PITTSBORO – Chatham County’s Parks and Recreation Department has been awarded a $500,000 grant from the N.C. Parks and Recreation Trust Fund (PARTF) to begin construction of the initial phase of a multi-purpose county park in the northeastern part of the county. Chatham County received the full amount requested and the maximum award provided by PARTF.
The 66-acre park is located on Big Woods Road on land that had been owned by the Eugene Grace family. The Chatham County Board of Commissioners provided matching funds through a new park facilities capital reserve.
This message is in response to Susan Turner’s questions about the weeds in her goat pastures that even the goats won’t eat. I hate to make “guesses” for plant identification, that is making an identification without actually seeing the plant itself, however, this time I’m willing to take a chance.
In response to Dan’s post – first off, thank you for asking about Angelina’s Kitchen. We do not currently have a website or storefront – however we have a spot picked in Pittsboro and will hopefully have everything in place by early December 2008.
