Garden Park Will Be Community Gathering Spot

While the Emory Village roundabout and streetscape construction project is largely complete, the Emory Village Garden Park, adjacent to the roundabout, will require additional resources for completion.

AIEV is currently raising funds to finish the park and other greening efforts on the edges of the village. The new garden park, envisioned as a community gathering place, will include a water feature, kiosk, and a well to provide water for the landscaping in the park and the some 40 trees to be planted this fall along with other landscaping throughout the village. Work is expected to resume again on the park the third week of November and will be completed early next year.
