LA Students’ Class Project Design to Open This Fall

February 4, 2022

Sketch of the J Long Memorial Second Street Park Design

Aaron Thompson’s LA students from Fall 2019 will see their class project design come to life this fall. With the help of Purdue Extension and community groups who fundraised with private donations, the citizens of Connersville, Indiana will be able to enjoy the J Long Memorial Second Street Park. This park will be the first in Connersville to be accessible for all ages and abilities. Congratulations to the citizens of Connersville for their new park and to our LA students for their thoughtful design!
