GEORGE The George City Council voted unanimously Tuesday to approve the city’s participation in a proposal to form the Quincy Valley Regional Parks District. The proposal, which is scheduled to be on the November general election ballot, would fund a new field house and swimming pool in the city of Quincy
Pat Haley, Quincy city administrator, spoke to the council about the planned facility, called Q-Plex, and answered any questions council members had regarding the parks district.
“We wanted to make it regional so that it invites people into our town…and that’s what I’m proposing, that it becomes something that has value for everybody in the district,” said Haley.
GEORGE Pavement, parks and poultry were among the topics of discussion at the George City Council meeting Tuesday.
