State Rep. Dr. Barbara Boyd urges historic park at 1961 bus burning site; thanks commission for parking-lot award
Summary
State Representative Dr. Barbara Boyd told the commission she supports transforming the 1961 bus burning site into a historic park and thanked the commission for awarding the associated parking-lot bid, calling it an important step forward.
State Representative Dr. Barbara Boyd urged Calhoun County commissioners on March 13 to preserve and interpret the 1961 bus burning site as a historic park.
Dr. Barbara Boyd described a long-held vision to turn the site into a space where future generations can learn about the event and its significance, and she commended the county for advancing related work. She also thanked the commission for awarding the parking-lot bid connected to the project, which she described as an important step forward in preparing the site for visitor access and interpretation.
Commissioners received the remarks as part of the meeting’s presentations; no formal vote on park development was recorded in the minutes beyond the parking-lot bid action noted by the representative. The commission continues to process project-related procurements and site-planning steps recorded in its files.
