Leland seeks input on Loblolly Park plan, parks at Oct. 28 open houses

Leland residents can share their ideas on the future of parks and recreation at two open houses on Oct. 28, from 3 to 6 p.m. at Town Hall, according to a Sept. 30 notice on the Town of Leland website. The town invites residents to share feedback on future parks during the sessions.

The town is also asking for input on the future Loblolly Park Master Plan. An Oct. 8 notice says the town is “offering residents two opportunities to provide input” on the plan, but it does not name those two opportunities. The notice does not say whether the Oct. 28 open houses are one of them.

Where is Loblolly Park?

The future Loblolly Park is located off Long Pine Drive in Leland, in Brunswick County, North Carolina. The site spans just over 32 acres, according to the same Oct. 8 notice.

Other civic opportunity: Citizens Academy

The town is also accepting applications for its first Leland Citizens Academy, a free six-week program that gives residents an inside look at how local government operates, according to an Oct. 1 notice. The notice does not give an application deadline or a start date.

What the notices do not say

• The notices do not give a complete address for Town Hall in the text reviewed.
• The Oct. 8 notice does not describe how residents can give input online or in writing.
• The notices do not give a deadline for comments on the Loblolly Park plan.

Residents with questions can contact the Town of Leland directly through its website.
