CANTON — Five years after Cherokee County voters approved a $90 million parks bond, the county’s three smallest cities will soon finally start to see their share of the capital project cash.
Bill Echols, Cherokee’s capital projects manager, said Wednesday that since the county began tapping into the park bond funds, about two-thirds of the money has been spoken for, but Ball Ground, Waleska and Nelson have yet to see construction.
Now, building on parks in the county’s three least-populated cities is set to begin in just a few weeks, once the construction contracts are finalized with the three firms who were awarded the jobs.
The Cherokee Board of Commissioners voted unanimously at its last meeting to approve contracts for roughly $1.621 million for park renovations in Ball Ground and another $772,000 and $216,000 in Waleska and Nelson respectively.
