The Town of Forest City selected Odom Engineering with partners Knight Strategies and Architecture Unlimited, to develop a master plan for the Florence Mill Park in Forest City, NC. The $2.2 million park project was approved by Forest City Town Council on January 11, 2017.
The park will bring several highly-anticipated features to downtown Forest City including an amphitheater for outdoor concerts and special events, and numerous water features including two interactive, pop-jet style fountains.
A name has not been chosen for the park, but is currently being referred to as the Florence Mill Park due to its location where the historic Florence Mills previously stood. The two mills, along with the Blanton Hotel building, were demolished in 2016 making room for the park.
Construction is planned to start later this spring and the park is projected to open to the public in late 2017.
