Development planning for Felson Park has been ongoing for some time . Is there any new information to share?– Yes there is . We have applied for a piece of the Appalachian Community Grant Program , which provides $500 million for planning and development across Ohio counties within the Appalachian region . Our ask was for Felson Park development to include an amphitheater , more shelter buildings , new parking , a playground , more access to the creek , and also development of the quarry – jumping platforms , ziplines , a beach , and a campground . We should hear by the end of March whether our project is awarded or not . There has been a great deal of work , collaboration , and effort put into this stemming from many public meetings regarding the park’s development . Our hope is that we get funded through this grant . If we don’t get funded , we are going to have to figure out how we develop each component of that park on our own . It’s not a preferred route because we’ll have to find more grant opportunities to fund the projects .  
    
   We understand that the development of that park , and our overall parks system , will go a long way to providing something to enjoy for our residents and their children , and also attracting those who do not live in Greenfield to our town . These projects will augment what we already have with Paint Creek and the quarry and also provide more accessibility . We are excited about this possibility and what it can bring to the Greenfield community . With this development would come more activity with the downtown retail shops and restaurants . It all works together and that’s why it is important to continue to build on the business space that we have , supporting our businesses in whatever capacity they need and creating an atmosphere not only for people to experience Greenfield , but also inviting for entrepreneurs and businesses looking to locate in the village .

   2024 is moving right along and events that come with the warmer weather aren’t that far off . – That’s true , and we have a summer of fun coming up . The Main Street First Friday events should be starting back up in the next couple months . Those monthly events feature bands and vendors and family fun . Also , Greenfield’s 225th anniversary is coming up and the event is planned for July 6 . We are hoping to be able to do a great celebration for the community , and we are hoping that includes fireworks . If you want to volunteer or if you want to do anything for these events or for the anniversary celebration , just reach out to us . Hopefully we will have a summer to remember here in Greenfield .
