At 7 a.m. on June 21, David Barto will step out of his Collegedale home and begin his morning walk. But unlike every other morning, this walk won’t end for nine days.
Barto, executive director of the Collegedale Tomorrow Foundation, will walk with several supporters and friends to the Tennessee State Capitol Building in Nashville – a total of 166 miles – to request funding to match donations raised through their walk.
What could be worth the long journey? The legacy that Barto and other Collegedale officials hope to create: Collegedale Commons.
Aiming to be a cultural and recreational center for not only Collegedale but surrounding areas, the 8-acre tract of land behind City Hall dubbed “The Commons” will be home to a community center, 15,000-square-foot event barn, conference area and more. However, the timeline and amenities are dependant on the amount raised.
