"City of Fresno could lose 49 acres for proposed park" (KFSN - ABC 30) |
Since 2006, the city of Fresno has had a golden opportunity to develop 49 acres of land into a park that is needed in this community. However, in a letter from the National Park Service, the city could be forced to give the free land back to the government unless it complies within 90 days and comes up with a plan to develop the land into a park.
Take Action! Contact your Fresno City Councilmember by calling (559) 621-8000 and tell him/her you support
#OneHealthyFresno with
#Parks4All. For more information, contact Kimberly McCoy at [email protected].
