Various enhancements are developing in conjunction with the Main Street Program, Southwest Georgia Bank, Ameris Bank, The Colquitt County Board of Commissioners, City of Moultrie, The Moultrie Colquitt County Development Authority, and Colquitt Regional Medical Center.
The park and future enhancements will strengthen the quality of life citizens, visitors, and better our downtown, the city said in the press release.
