Last week, we reported Russell County Judge-Executive Randy Marcum received a lease from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for the planned Greasy Creek park project.
At Monday’s fiscal court meeting, the court approved the lease, allowing the county to move forward with plans for the project.
The park project at Greasy Creek has been in the works for more than two years by Marcum, with plans to include a handicap-accessible fishing pier, kayaking, and walking and hiking trails.
Marcum gave WJRS News some details about the next steps.
The area was once a popular roadside park several years ago.
