Fort Jones Central Community Park Project

The Fort Jones Central Community Park Project involves the development of a community park on approximately 3.47 acres of previously disturbed vacant land in Fort Jones, Siskiyou County, California. The scope of work includes the demolition and disposal of an existing abandoned concrete building and basement, minor site grading, and the installation of playground equipment with safety surfacing. Additionally, the project entails the construction of accessible pedestrian pathways and the installation of park amenities such as benches, trash receptacles, and signage, concluding with minor landscaping and site restoration activities. The project is managed by the Town of Fort Jones, with primary points of contact including Town Administrator George Brenard and Public Works representative Everett Hullquist. Legally, the project has been filed as a Notice of Exemption under the California Environmental Quality Act, specifically qualifying for categorical exemptions under Sections 15303 and 15304. The project was formally approved via a resolution adopted on August 10, 2026, which also authorized the submission of grant applications to fund the improvements.
