Kingsford Heights — The Kingsford Heights Town Council unanimously adopted Resolution 2026‑001 on Feb. 9 to place a vacant 23‑acre town‑owned parcel on Edgemoor Road under the jurisdiction of the town park board for development into recreational uses.
The resolution names the parcel (Parcel ID 461519101‑100‑065) and directs that it be used and developed by the park board for town residents, potentially including a walking trail. The resolution states the town will remain the legal owner of the property while the park board assumes jurisdiction for its use and benefit.
Council members reviewed a map of the parcel during the meeting and discussed its location relative to nearby residences and the church. A parks representative described the parcel’s rough boundaries and confirmed the board’s interest in developing trails and other recreational amenities for residents.
The motion to adopt the resolution was made, seconded and approved by voice vote; the council recorded the vote as unanimous. The resolution requires only a single reading and takes effect upon passage.
Next steps: the park board will begin planning uses for the parcel and will report back to the council with specific proposals and any funding or maintenance requirements.
