SPRINGFIELD VILLAGE PARK

6/1/2006: The sculpture And They Went Down Both into the Waterwas unveiled at Springfield Village Park by renowned sculptor Richard Hunt.

6/29/2006: The Augusta Commission approved the sale of city property bounded by the levee and marina on the north, Reynolds Street on the south and the site of a historically valuable train depot to Mr. Harry E. Kitchen, Jr. for condominium development. Augusta Tomorrow board members initiated discussions between Kitchen and Mayor Deke Copenhaver in December 2005. Soil contamination was found on the site. Mr. Kitchens and the City of Augusta together financed the soil remediation. Unfortunately, when the remediation was completed, the weak economy stalled development and the property reverted back to the City of Augusta.
