Protect our Park & Heritage Museum
We, the citizens of the City of Northport, propose that the City of Northport recognize and dedicate the land surrounding the Northport Community Center, playground, park, and the current site of the Northport Heritage Museum as a dedicated Community Park, open space, greenbelt, protected from future development for the continued use and good of the community.
Why is this important?
We, the citizens, residents, tax-payers, and voters of the City of Northport, propose that the City of Northport recognize and dedicate the land surrounding the Northport Community Center, playground, park, and the current site of the Northport Heritage Museum as a dedicated Community Park, open space, greenbelt, protected from future development for the continued use and good of the community. We propose that the land at the convergence of Park Street and Lurleen Wallace Blvd/AL Hwy 69 owned by the City of Northport, remain as a city-owned and dedicated community park, open space greenbelt as a welcoming and inviting entry point into the City of Northport, for use as park and recreation land by citizens and visitors.
1. Community Park – A larger park designed for use by the residents of the entire city. A Community Park will have various general use facilities including playground equipment, picnic areas and shelters, and/or special use facilities.
2. Open Space – an open piece of land that provides development breaks and is accessible to the public. Open space can include: Green space, land that is partly or completely covered with grass, trees, shrubs, or other vegetation.
3. Greenbelts – an area of open land around a city, on which building is restricted.
We, the citizens of the City of Northport, propose that the current site of the Northport Heritage Museum be dedicated as the permanent site for the Northport Heritage Museum, to remain as it is today, as a welcoming site upon entry to the City of Northport, representing the City of Northport’s heritage, history, and identity.
We, the citizens of the City of Northport, have an interest in smart growth for our city that includes preserving open space greenbelts that make the City of Northport a high-quality place to live and do business.
