NATCHEZ, Miss. – The city is expected to have $2 million in hand by August as it starts improving Natchez’ six municipal parks, with the bulk of that money going to renovate the Duncan Park golf clubhouse and the North Natchez youth center.
“It will take a few months and even into next year. But the important thing is we’re starting,” Mayor Dan Gibson said of the parks project.
The Board of Aldermen agreed Tuesday to move forward on borrowing $2 million through bonds. While the list of park improvements has a projected cost of about $1.75 million, aldermen decided to add another $250,000 for city street resurfacing and other structural repairs.
