Thank you to everyone that joined us for a southern district meeting at Floyd County Parks newest park, Kevin Hammersmith Memorial Park! Park Superintendent Roger Jeffers discussed how the park came about, partnerships, fundraising, and construction and completion of a nearly 7 year planned playground project. Meagan Herber from Indiana Housing and Community Development Authority shared the basics of the CreatINg Places program (how it works, how anyone interested can get started, etc.)
