City officials and community members held a ribbon-cutting to celebrate Reaves Park renovations on the morning of March 25. The renovation includes construction of four new fields for 5-8U with new concession and restroom facilities, a new park loop road, large new parking lots inside the park, a pond and several upgrades to the 11 other baseball and softball fields in the park. The $10.2 million project managed by Flintco Construction also included the relocation of the old park maintenance facilities from Reaves to their new home on north Flood Avenue, which made way for the new fields and parking. Improvements were also made to the park electrical service to help with hosting special events. |

988: The Mental Health Lifeline |
988 was established to improve access to crisis services in a way that meets our country’s growing suicide and mental health-related crisis care needs. 988 will provide easier access to the Lifeline network and related crisis resources, which are distinct from the public safety purposes of 911 (where the focus is on dispatching Emergency Medical Services, fire and police as needed).
