The Polk County Community Foundation notified the Town last week that the award had been made. Funds from the Bradley Grant will be used for a planned expansion of the existing Veteran’s Park in Columbus. Mayor McMillian said, “On behalf of the Town and the citizens of our community, I want to express appreciation to the Polk County Community Foundation for their support of the Veteran’s Park. “With the Bradley Community Benefit Grant and with the support of others in our community, we will be able to purchase land to enhance our park. The addition of this property will increase the park’s capacity to host community events, and it will enable us to protect the beauty of the park from commercial encroachment.”
