Plainview Peace Corp Legacy

Plainview’s City Council on January 13 approved a cooperative Memorandum of Understanding between the Peace Corp Legacy Association and American Legion Post 179 for the planned National Services Park project.

The MOU identified the general terms of a proposed lease agreement between the parties, under which the City would lease to PCLA the area currently known as Great River Ridge Trailhead Park, to construct improvements to the park honoring national governmental entities, based on significant community historical and service precedents including but not necessarily limited to the Peace Corps, all branches of the military, and AmeriCorps.

According to the Plainview News, the agreement will allow PCLA access to the park during construction in order to build a yet-to-be determined portion as the Plaza, honoring the Peace Corps and military.

The parties intend to include portions of the park and/or plaza that are dedicated specifically to local Plainview residents who served in such national governmental entities.
