MORGAN -- Residents near a new Mountain Green park are asking if the county is willing to sell the property to their homeowners' association.

Guidelines changed for city park usage

The city council has OK’d a change in the guidelines for usage of a city park or bowery that has been reserved for use by a specific party.
