East Ridge Getting New Playground Next To City Hall; Applications Due Monday For Lottery For 2 Large New Liquor Stores Friday, March 12, 2021 - by Gail Perry
By the end of school, East Ridge should have a new playground. The city received a Local Parks and Recreation Fund grant to replace the playground next to city hall. It has been a long process because the grant came with a lot of requirements that have now been fulfilled. The last step, the plan being stamped by an engineer, has just been done and the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation has given final approval. Approval to buy the equipment for the playground and splash pad was given to the city manager at the council meeting Thursday night, just in time to be able to maintain the cost in the original bid.
