Cleveland Airport Authority Chairwoman Lynn DeVaultCLEVELAND, Tenn. — Would the city of Cleveland be interested in accepting a new wetland as a city park?
The Cleveland Municipal Airport Authority wants to know.
As part of its preparation for a new airport on Dry Valley Road in the Tasso community, the city’s airport authority had to create a state and federally accepted wetland elsewhere to replace a wetland at the construction site.
The airport authority purchased 22 acres on the former Rolling Hills Golf Course on Candies Lane. When that $400,000 project is completed, it will be a wetland park with a walking trail.
And since the city’s Parks and Recreation Department will be maintaining it, Airport Authority Chairwoman Lynn DeVault is asking if the city would be interested in accepting the park as part of the debt the airport authority owes the city for airport construction.
