A Parsons resident urges action on new tennis courts.

 Parsons resident Chris Schultz spoke before the Parsons City Commission last night (Tuesday evening) about moving forward with plans for an indoor tennis facility in the city. Schultz recently asked the USD 503 about using the old Washington school site for the courts and told the commission that the district seemed receptive to the idea as long as the facility could be used for other sports as well. Schultz says he wants to be ready for the project to move forward.

Schultz comes from a family with a long tennis history and he has been trying to rally community support for the project.

In other business before the commission at this week's meeting, street closures were approved for an
Earth Day celebration on April 17. Commissioners also okayed the purchase of a John Deere Loader from KDOT.
