Projects Page Updated for Improved Clarity
August 31, 2025
Our website was offline for maintenance this morning while we
refreshed our Projects Page to make it
easier for the community and supporters to find clear information
about what projects we currently have in process. The page now
highlights our two active efforts:
- Organizational Startup & Capacity Building
~ building the foundation that allows Greater Toledo Heritage
and Horizons to operate effectively, meet compliance standards,
and carry out community projects responsibly.
- South County Park (Wallace Pond) Campaign ~ a
focused effort to secure the park through the county surplus
property process and address urgent repairs so families can
enjoy a safe, clean, and welcoming community landmark. Our
details page for the South County Park has also been updated
with the types of repair and maintentance that is anticipated.
Our other ideas and concepts have not been removed ~ they are
now located on a dedicated Future
Possibilities page, where they can be viewed separately.
This change was made to improve clarity and avoid confusion, while
keeping everything accessible to the public.
