In May 1999 Union County published a
"Draft" of the Open Space & Recreation Element of
the Master Plan. A copy of the complete study is available at
local libraries throughout the county. The following are
excerpts from this document that deal with the County parks in
general and specifically Briant Park:
Note that the 10-year planning period of
this study refers only to Year 1, Year 2, etc. without
identifying any calendar years (refer to
Briant
Park Priorities).
Also, as of August, 2003 the County had not yet
distributed a final version of this study.
BPN will stay in touch with the Union County Parks Department
staff to obtain the latest plans and publications.
