Town of Signal Mountain officials are eyeing 14 acres of county property within the town for expanded recreational space.
Citizens have repeatedly voiced concern about the lack of adequate recreational space to house the growing sports leagues on the mountain.
Town and county officials are now in talks concerning land located across from Nolan Elementary, at the corner of Sam Powell Trail and Shackleford Ridge Road, Town Manager Boyd Veal reported during a recent town council work session.
He said the town of Walden may be included in the discussion as well.
“We’ve made initial contact with county representatives and are looking to schedule a meeting to discuss further,” said Veal.
