Tobaccoville gives update on Village Park Phase II, plans tree plantings and amphitheater work
Summary
Administrator Lori Shore told the council that amphitheater finishing work is pending, Reaper Custom Fabrication is sealing the structure, the village identified trees for a disc-golf course at Heritage Oaks Farm, and the village plans to contract Tobacco Ridge to plant trees and apply seed and fertilizers; she confirmed the work is eligible for PARTF prior to further spending.
The Village of Tobaccoville received an update Aug. 7 on progress at Village Park Phase II, including finishing work on the amphitheater and plans for landscaping and a disc-golf course.
Administrator Lori Shore said the amphitheater still requires pressure washing and that Reaper Custom Fabrication is working on the seal. Shore and Administrator Dan Corder visited Heritage Oaks Farm in Midway to select trees and shrubs for the disc-golf layout. The village plans to hire Tobacco Ridge to dig tree holes, plant specimens, and assist staff with mulch beds; it will also purchase seed, fertilizer and lime for fall work. Shore reported she had verified with PARTF that the contemplated work is eligible before incurring further expenses.
Council Member Mark Baker, speaking for the PARC Committee earlier in the meeting, said the committee will host a Movie in the Park on Aug. 15 at 8:30 p.m., with refreshments provided by the committee. The minutes attach a map showing proposed tree and shrub locations on the disc-golf course but do not list species, quantities, or contract pricing.
Next steps include completing the amphitheater sealing and scheduling tree planting work; the minutes do not specify exact planting dates or procurement contracts beyond the named contractor (Tobacco Ridge) and vendor (Reaper Custom Fabrication).
