MSPA Progress

  • Nearly 3 Acres of Parkland: Main Street Park will offer active recreational space and native habitat restoration.

  • Community-Driven Design: Every park amenity has been informed by an 8-month public input process.

  • All-Volunteer Effort: Main Street Park Alliance operates with zero salaries or compensation—every dollar supports the project.

  • Significant Funding Raised: $10.5 million has already been secured for environmental remediation and park construction, we are raising for the Sustainability Fund.

  • Major Remediation Complete: We’ve safely removed 32,000 tons of contaminated soil.

  • Park Construction Underway: The park is on track to be done in the spring of 2026!
