Special to Lake Okeechobee News

CLEWISTON -- The City of Clewiston announced Aug 19 that it will begin work on restoring three city parks located on Esperanza Avenue, Saginaw Avenue and Ridgewood Avenue, made possible through a grant from U.S. Sugar. The restoration will include updated playground equipment, additional benches and other amenities for children and local residents.

“We are so thankful for the generosity of the people of U.S. Sugar, and for their ongoing commitment to improving resources for local children, who will soon have three better places to play in ‘America’s Sweetest Town,’” said Mayor Kristine Petersen. “These parks will be a welcome addition to our neighborhoods, and on behalf of our community, we say thank you to U.S. Sugar.”
 
“Since our company’s founding in 1931, investing in our community has been a cornerstone of our corporate stewardship,” said Brannan Thomas, U.S. Sugar’s Community Relations Director. “Soon, more of our local children will have three new safe, modern places to play throughout the City of Clewiston.”
 
Local children joined representatives from the city and leaders from U.S. Sugar to mark the beginning of the park restoration project on Esperanza Avenue.
