Example

In late 2019, The Land Trust of North Alabama developed plans for a Nature Discovery Center. They proposed to build the center on Land Trust property near Toll Gate Circle. In January 2020, the BVCA held a community meeting about the project in the gym at Clements Church on McClung . The Land Trust and their architectural firm described the project. Blossomwood residents asked questions and expressed opinions about it. As a result, the difficulties of pursuing the project were brought into focus. Eventually the project was abandoned.
