Note this is an unscheduled meeting, but given the time restraints for submitting proposals it couldn’t wait for our regular August meeting.

We’ll be talking about the future of the Tillery Development and Park, and hopefully joined by a representative from PARD to discuss ways to tell PARD what YOU would like to see in the park.

Agenda

– Park at Tillery Pecan Grove

– Future GNA locations (keep it on zoom, or transition to in person for the fall?)

Remember

– Despite being mature nut bearing trees, most of the trees in the pecan grove are too small to be protected (<19 inches).
– The city will be breaking ground in a year.

– The entire plot is 5 acres with empty fields next to the grove, plenty of room to save the trees AND have affordable housing.

– If you don’t want to see the Pecan Grove cut down, now is the time to speak up!!!
