Ledbetter Park Upgrade Highlights Community Effort
Ledbetter Park in Cameron was upgraded through a joint project by the Noon Lions Club and the city, funded by donations and in-kind labor from local groups and individuals. The dam, lake, and banks were rebuilt and stocked with fish, with extensive work by the Community Development Agency, Green Thumb labor, and area volunteers. The project expanded facilities including tennis courts, basketball rims, playgrounds, restrooms, and memorial features, all aimed at boosting city recreation and serving residents of all ages.

Sanitary sewer project brings FHA loan eligibility to Alabama area
The Cameron area previously lacked sewer service with 33 septic tanks and 23 outdoor toilets. A lift station, pressure line, gathering lines, and property line service were installed. Remaining work will finish in 1977. CDA funds financed the project at no city cost, making homes FHA loan eligible again.
