CHACOS PARK SCHEMATIC MASTER PLAN PROJECT COMPLETED: Next Step-Construction Documents
In November 2024 the Board of Trustee approved the schematic master plan for the Chacos Park redevelopment plan.

This will allow additional pricing and budget allocation work, which will help to present the project to potential granting sources.
