Kirkwood City Council Approves $70k For Fillmore Park Expansion
The park will take over an adjacent plot at 400 S. Fillmore Ave.
At their Jan. 3 meeting, the Kirkwood City Council unanimously voted in favor of purchasing a plot of land at 400 S. Fillmore Ave. for $70,000 to expand Fillmore Park.
The funds will come from the ½ Center Parks and Recreation Sales Tax Fund. The property’s cost is $67,500 with the remaining $2,500 to be spent on legal and closing costs.
A house that was on site was demolished earlier last year. The community will be invited to discuss plans for the site in public meetings.
