The Lewis County government has recently secured an $80,000 grant designated for the “Healthy Built Environment” initiative from the state. This funding will be utilized to acquire new playground equipment for Memorial Park, enhancing recreational opportunities for the community. Notably, Lewis County stands out as one of only 13 recipients of the Healthy Built Environment grant throughout the state this year, highlighting the significance of this achievement.
In an exciting collaboration, Lewis County will be working alongside the city of Hohenwald on this project. Hohenwald has assumed full responsibility for the funding, management, and operation of Memorial Park as of July 1, 2024. This partnership aims to ensure that the park remains a vibrant and accessible space for families and children in the area, promoting health and wellness through improved facilities.
