After a four-year delay, the Northwest Territory Playground at Washington School in Marietta will finally be renovated.
The original design plans in 2017 had a projected cost of $1.5 million on the city-owned park.
“We’ve raised a little over $100,000,” said LeeAnn Johnson, a Fountain Foundation member. “(But) we have completely condensed the project from the original design in 2017.
The Fountain Foundation formed as a fundraising nonprofit with eyes on the playground, including the renaming of the city asset after momentum from 2017.

WORCESTER COUNTY, MD. – In 2020, an average of 74 cases of child abuse were reported monthly in Worcester County.
Child psychologist Kathy Seifert tells 47ABC that many may have gone unnoticed. “There are a high number of cases for child abuse and neglect and those may have not been picked up while we had been isolated from all our social contact,” Said Seifert.
However now that students are coming back to school – these cases are coming to light. “As children are getting back to seeing there physicians and professionals in school and so forth we seeing those numbers rise again for all types of abuse and neglect as well,” said Wendy Myers, Director of The Cricket Center.
Calls to boycott the Publix have sprung up after the grocery chain s heiress, Julie Jenkins Fancelli, was reported of contributing money for the Jan. 6 rally that preceded the Capitol riot.
The Wall Street Journal has identified Fancelli as the top donor to the Jan. 6 pro-Trump rally in Washington D.C. that preceded the deadly storming of the Capitol.
Citing the Journal, a Business Insider report said Fancelli s donation was facilitated by the far-right conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, who donated $50,000 to the rally.
The heiress to the Southern grocery empire has allegedly donated millions of dollars to Republican causes and candidates. Julie Jenkins Fancelli reportedly contributed $300,000 of the roughly $500,000 total raised for former President Donald Trump s Stop the Steal rally on Jan. 30.
