VIDEO/PHOTOS: Garden City residents are seeing new improvements to their river park and fire station, in the first phase of projects completed with the funds from the Tyson settlement.
In this first phase of project construction, Garden City made improvements to the Garden City River Park, adding a new kayak area, restroom facilities and trails, along with expanding the access to public parking and public water. In addition to the river park improvements, the city also celebrated the construction of the new fire station. Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall cut the ribbon on Wednesday to celebrate the openings.
"I am glad that we have been able to help the people of Garden City begin to heal from this man-made disaster, and hope that this park will be a benefit to the community and allow others to come to this part of the state and witness for themselves how beautiful it is,” Attorney General Steve Marshall said.
