At Tuesday night's Clinton City Council meeting, the Council moved forward with plans for Kiwanis Park to be constructed, however, it will not happen until much later than expected.

On the WHOW Morning Show Tuesday, Clinton City Administrator Tony Harris told Regional Radio this is one of the first projects he has taken on as the City Administrator. 

According to Harris, an issue with getting construction approved by the City Council will push the project's estimated completion date to mid-summer. He says the work is getting started. 

The City has the chance to qualify for a grant through T-Mobile. The cost will likely total $500,000 when it is all done. Harris indicates the grant will be a small drop in the bucket but everything helps.

The playground equipment has been stored at the old Miller Container facility on Clinton's east side through the winter months. 

Kiwanis Park was demolished in the fall of last year over structural issues with the old wooden playground equipment.
