Milton Seeks Proposals For Football Program Provider

MILTON, GA — The city of Milton is seeking companies to be considered as the program provider for the 2019 football season. Anyone who wants to submit a proposal to the city can visit Milton's website and check out the details on what the Parks and Recreation Department is looking for in a provider.

The deadline for submitting a proposal for consideration is 2 p.m. Feb. 21.

"The city and its program providers work together to promote each specific athletic program, making sure we get as many of our local youth active and engaged," said Milton Parks and Recreation Director Jim Cregge. "We're committed to providing high quality programming for our citizens, and the city works with each program provider to set goals designed to help ensure continued resident participation and program growth."
