MARSHALL, Ill. (WTWO/WAWV) On the south side of the city of Marshall, Ill., a soybean field is in the preliminary stages of developing into the next public park.
Marshall native Gerald Forsythe recently announced plans to donate nearly 14 acres of land near Cherry and 11th Streets, while also paying all expenses to build facilities and finish for public use.
Forsythe and city officials said they hope this project benefits the community.
“We need to make sure this town continues to grow and evolve in such a way that it maintains the level of excellence we’ve had over the years,” Mayor John Hasten said.
