Aldermen confirm four appointments to Parks & Recreation Board
Summary
The board approved four appointments—Abigail Hicks Gentry, Corbin Gentry, Courtney Hargrove and Dana Allison—to the Parks & Recreation Board; appointees described interest in dog-park ideas, accessibility, and community programming.
The Board of Aldermen unanimously approved four appointments to the Parks & Recreation Board. Abigail Hicks Gentry introduced herself and said she works in the ICU at Saint Luke's and would like to see a dog park added. Corbin Gentry, who moved to Greenwood in February and works as a software developer, said he and his wife appreciate the area and also supported dog-park ideas. Courtney Hargrove (introduced by the resolution) described nine years in Greenwood, property-management experience and interest in supporting parks. Dana Allison was welcomed though not present at the meeting.
Why it matters: The new board members will advise the city on park priorities that were discussed later in the meeting (including playground design, a potential dog park, and a social space/fire-pit concept). The appointments passed by voice vote during the consent/appointments portion of the meeting.
