Gate City Gardeners Can 'Get Growing'

During Tuesday night's Board of Aldermen's meeting, legislation authorizing the city to enter into a lease agreement with  R-13-113, was fast-tracked and approved, shepherded by Alderman Mark Cookson, who noted that given the time-table for processing the request, gardeners would likely lose valuable prime gardening time.

Cookson noted the legislation was met favorably in the finance committee and while he's not normally a proponent of pulling legislation from a committee, he was "sympathetic to this group."

All that is to say that the Gate City Community Gardens project is now officially a go, and will be established along the Heritage Rail Trail. We will keep you updated on their progress.
