McBee council: anonymous $30,000 gift boosts playground plans; $26,000 still needed
Summary
Mayor Glenn Odom told the council the playground committee secured an anonymous $30,000 donation and is working with Kaplan and the Civic Center architect on a proposed 60x60 fenced playground with bathrooms and water; the council still needs about $26,000 to complete funding.
Mayor Glenn Odom told the Town of McBee council during the April 7 meeting that an anonymous donor had pledged $30,000 toward a new playground. He described plans for a roughly 60x60 fenced play area with outside bathrooms, water, and a small train play unit for younger children, and said the committee met with a company named Kaplan to review equipment options.
Odom said the town will use the same architect working on the Civic Center and plans a ribbon-cutting ceremony for donors. He also told the council the project still needs about $26,000 in commitments and that an April 17 fundraiser was canceled after only one ticket sold. The minutes do not record any vote or formal funding appropriation at the meeting.
