Drafted Following Town Hall Meeting at Civitan Park

We, the citizens, residents, tax-payers, and voters of the City of Northport, propose
that the City of Northport recognize and dedicate the land surrounding the
Northport Community Center, playground, park, and the current site of the
Northport Heritage Museum as a dedicated Community Park, open space, greenbelt,
protected from future development for the continued use and good of the
community. We propose that the land at the convergence of Park Street and Lurleen
Wallace Blvd/AL Hwy 69 owned by the City of Northport, remain as a city-owned
and dedicated community park, open space greenbelt as a welcoming and inviting
entry point into the City of Northport, for use as park and recreation land by citizens
and visitors.


1. Community Park A larger park designed for use by the residents of the
entire city. A Community Park will have various general use facilities
including playground equipment, picnic areas and shelters, and/or special
use facilities.

2. Open Space an open piece of land that provides development breaks and is
accessible to the public. Open space can include: Green space, land that is
partly or completely covered with grass, trees, shrubs, or other vegetation.

3. Greenbelts an area of open land around a city, on which building is
restricted.


We, the citizens of the City of Northport, propose that the current site of the
Northport Heritage Museum be dedicated as the permanent site for the Northport
Heritage Museum, to remain as it is today, as a welcoming site upon entry to the City
of Northport, representing the City of Northports heritage, history, and identity.

We, the citizens of the City of Northport, have an interest in smart growth for our
city that includes preserving open space greenbelts that make the City of Northport
a high-quality place to live and do business.
