Park Plan Seeks Trees Fountain and Parking north Court House
Morgan County commissioners delayed a decision on turning the area north of the courthouse into a park with a fountain and a small parking lot.

The plan would route water through a winding syncreze feature and into the storm system, prompting Fleming to seek engineering input before a vote.
