Manville park ribbon cutting held in Magnetic Springs

Leesburg Township celebrated its recently-installed walking trail and playground at the Lee Manville Memorial Park in Magnetic Springs with a ribbon cutting Monday afternoon as part of a $163,000 project paid for by state capital funds. Trustee Kevin Dotson said the trail and playground have seen a lot of use since the additions were made. State Representative Tracy Richardson presented an official commendation to Dotson and everyone involved for their efforts in the process.
