DeKalb County proudly announces the formation of its new Parks and Recreation Committee. On February 18, 2025, the committee held its inaugural meeting to establish its structure and elect officers. Tony Luna was appointed as Chair, Josh Miller as Vice Chair, and Chad Driver as Secretary.
The committee’s mission is to assess the recreational needs of DeKalb County and pursue state grants to fund the development of new ballfields, soccer fields, hiking and biking trails, and improvements to existing parks. Committee members in attendance included Tony Culwell, Jimmy Lewis, Casey Midget, Cody Atnip, Jesse Sutton, and Suzanne Williams.
“We are thrilled about the potential this committee brings to DeKalb County,” said Committee Chair Luna. “By establishing this group, we can now access a wide range of grant opportunities that were previously unavailable to us. These funds will help us enhance our community’s parks and recreational facilities for everyone to enjoy.”
The committee is already planning its next meeting to finalize details and prioritize grant applications that will deliver the greatest benefit to the community. Additional information about the meeting schedule and upcoming projects will be announced soon.
