Late Friday afternoon, Athens Chamber of Commerce Board Member Kim Hodges announced that construction of the proposed splash pad was ready to move forward. She posted the following announcement on the Henderson County Now Facebook Page:
I just received final approval to begin construction of the splash pad. We still need around $60k for paving, sidewalks, culverts, fencing etc. Our hope is for the community to help us reach the final hurdle and be able to enjoy the splash pad this summer. We couldn’t have done this without the support of our community, our sponsors, the Athens Kiwanis Club, Chamber of Commerce and the City of Athens.
The project was facing a funding deadline that could have pushed the project to next year.
