Longview Wins Park Upgrade Money

LONGVIEW — The city of Longview wins the title of “Tea Town U.S.A.” According to KETK, aside from bragging rights, the city gets $10,000 for park improvements. The online McAlister’s competition put Longview up against cities all across the state and nation to become the official “Tea Town.” Longview won the race by over 12,000 votes — and the city’s already decided which park will get the facelift. The city will pair with AMBUCS and fix up Spring Hill Park to make it ADA-accessible. Officials say children of all abilities will be able to play within the entire playground and intermingle. According to officials, there will be ramps so there will be absolutely no restrictions to any child to be able to play on the new playground. The city will be awarded the money at a ceremony later this month.
