Brookhaven launches Parks Bond Referendum website

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

$40 million referendum question on November ballot

Brookhaven, GA, Aug. 17, 2018 – The City of Brookhaven launched a Parks Bond Referendum website to ensure voters have access to information about the referendum question prior to the Nov. 6. election.  The referendum, if passed, would authorize up to $40 million in capital improvements to Brookhaven parks and facilities.

The website is at www.brookhavenga.gov/parks-bond-ref and is also listed as a menu item under the City Hall tab on the Brookhaven website at www.brookhavenga.gov. 

The website contains line-item details about specific improvements in six Brookhaven parks: Ashford, Blackburn, Briarwood, Brookhaven, Lynwood, and Murphey Candler I, as well as systemwide improvements which would be funded through this referendum.  Information about the financial impact of the parks bond, the ballot language, master plans, project management, and the Parks Citizens’ Survey is also contained on the site.
