Cabarrus County Parks Department <br />MEMO <br />TO: John Day, Cabarrus County Manager <br />CC: Mike Downs, Deputy County Manager <br />FROM: Londa Strong, Parks Department Director <br />DATE: October 27, 2009 <br />SUBJECT: Name Recommendation for the New Southeast Park <br />The Parks Commission and Parks staff would like to recommend naming the new park in <br />Southeast Cabarrus, the "Rob Wallace Park". I spoke with Mr. and Mrs. Wallace <br />regarding having their family name on this facility and they were both humbled and <br />honored with the possibility. <br />The Wallace's willingness to sell their 190 acre parcel to the County at a very favorable <br />term, gave the County the opportunity to purchase a larger tract of land and develop it <br />in a reasonable amount of time. Their cooperation will help make this park a reality not <br />for just the citizens of Southeast Cabarrus, but all the citizens of Cabarrus County. The <br />Wallace's wanted this park to become a reality and went above and beyond to make <br />sure the project became a reality. <br />Rob Wallace is a pillar in his community and is deserving of this recognition. Thank you <br />for your consideration of this recommendation. <br />2323 Concord Lake Rd (28025) • P.O.
