 Irbin Gomez, a city public works employee, straightens sod that was installed Tuesday at Centre Park on Centre Avenue. The sod was donated by local business owner Michael Feeney. A popular city gathering spot is getting a makeover.
The Centre Park Historic District, in partnership with the city's public works department, is working to transform the park in the 700 block of Centre Avenue from a muddy space cluttered with trees into a grassy haven residents can enjoy throughout the year. The organization got a big boost this week when a local businessman contributed a truckload of bright green sod to improve the terrain. Michael Feeney, owner of John Feeney Funeral Home, said he heard about the effort to revamp the park and decided he would step up by purchasing $2,000 worth of sod for the cause. |
