Thursday, January 26th, 2023

A major beautification project for Cliffview Lake off Antioch Road is ready to begin, thanks to the voter-approved Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax (SPLOST) and the Public Works and Parks & Beautification Departments.

Mayor Lester Miller, Parks & Beautification Director Mike Glisson, and others will hold a press conference and demolition at 10:00 a.m. on Thursday, January 26, at 606 Cliffview Drive to mark the start of the work. Crews will demolish a house and surrounding structures there as the first step in the overall project.

The press conference and demolition will be broadcast live on our Facebook page.

“We’re about to really open up Cliffview Lake to people and show them what a gem of a park it is,” says Glisson. “With this improvement project - and working in partnership with our other departments in the surrounding area - Cliffview Lake will be more accessible and be the centerpiece of strengthening the entire neighborhood."

"Improving recreation was one of the areas thousands of people asked me to focus on, and I know this neighborhood has long been promised this beautiful - but hard to access - area get much-needed improvements," says Mayor Lester Miller.
