As showcased in the 2035 SouthPark Forward Vision Plan, access to public space and trails ranks among the top amenities both residents and business owners desire. As a direct response to this, SouthPark Community Partners recently unveiled the framework for a $21MM public-private partnership to transform Symphony Park into a premier urban park.
Join us for a fireside chat with Nate Storring, Co-Executive Director of Project for Public Spaces, and Adam Rhew, President & CEO of SouthPark Community Partners, to dive deeper on why public space is vital to a thriving community.
