***Horton Says Sports Fields And Gym Needed Quickly***

When the Oconee County Democratic Party asked County Commissioner Chuck Horton to give an overview of the proposed new Dawson Park last week, Horton focused on what he sees as the immediate need for new sports fields and a gym.

The long-range plan for the 250-acre site on Rocky Branch Road that now is the county’s Land Application System (LAS) site includes bike and walking trails, a dog park, ponds, playgrounds, and picnic areas.
