1. PARKS, RECREATION & SERVICES Our Village is nestled within Winton Woods parklands. Take advantage of the Hamilton County Park District's willingness to develop the Village pocket parks. Greenbelt, Maryland has 26 wonderfully equipped playgrounds. Village parents and kids long for safe play equipment near their homes. Grant monies and corporate sponsors can make this dream a reality. Strike an agreement to have the Village lawn care contracted to park employees who are mowing, plowing, etc + or at least share equipment.
2. SHOPPING CENTER Assist the owner with upgrading the Village-owned parking areas. Provide land for Winton Road pylon signage. Landscape between Winton Road and the street/parking lot area. Get on-board with the Winton Road corridor development. Coupled with regional economic development marketing to attract desirable destination businesses/office tenants establishing a vibrant regional attraction.
