We've come this far by faith

The Fairview community finally cut the ribbon on its new park Saturday, April 9, at a ceremony at 2 p.m. Orange County commissioners, Hillsborough town board members and folks from the community gathered together to celebrate and echo how long a journey it had been. After decades of waiting, the park finally came to fruition and includes new play equipment, a baseball field, basketball courts, tennis courts, volleyball courts and walking trails.

fairview park master plan

As promised, here is the master plan for the Fairview Community Park. (Click on the image to see a large version of the plan.) At the meeting last week, there was definitely optimism in the air from most of the people there. Cautious optimism — which is understandable after around 30 years of waiting — but optimism nonetheless. I think the plan for the park looks great. Contractors are due to break ground in August, if lawyers give the OK on the deal.
