A town hall meeting in Caney begins the process of a possible pocket park across from City Hall.

 Residents met with Pathways Coordinator Marci Roberts and City Administrator Kelley Zellner to begin the idea process to beautify an area that once held a building. The location has been cleared after the building burned, with the property turned over to the city.

 Zellner says he is happy with the turnout and the ideas presented in yesterday's meeting.

 The work must be done using the existing concrete pad, because removing the pad would violate EPA standards. Zellner is contacting EPA officials and pursuing other grant funding to align with $30,000 in current grant funding for the pocket park.

 A green space with restroom facilities and a small stage was high on the list of priorities listed by residents. Zellner and Roberts will update Caney residents on the progress of the proposed park in a future meeting.
