Grant will support implementation of Josh Gibson Park
The City of Buena Vista has been awarded a $500,000 grant from Georgia Department of Natural Resources based on renderings created by the UGA Carl Vinson Institute of Government.
The Land and Water Conservation Fund grant will support the implementation of a $1 million project called Josh Gibson Park. The Institute of Government’s designs were included in the grant proposal.
Plans for the park include a sport court, playground, and amphitheater that will serve as an important centerpiece for community engagement. The design plans are a result of the institute’s engagement with communities surrounding Fort Benning through the River Valley Community Compatible Development plan.
