Monday evening’s update on the development of the Barrett Playground/Recreation Center was well attended. NTCDC, along with our partners CW Bass, State Rep. Parker, State Sen. Sharif Street, PPR/CPO, and Mayor Parker, presented the project at the 58% milestone — with the finish line now within sight.

The community was ecstatic and excited to see promises made and promises kept! 😊
