AmeriCorps NCCC helps with Livingston park maintenance mowing at Miles Park

Growing up here, some of my earliest memories are of riding in the tree watering truck with my mom and Warren McGee—a man with a grand vision of investing in parks, public spaces, and the urban forest that now shades our summer gatherings. Warren understood something fundamental: parks aren't just amenities, they're investments in our community's soul. Parks give roots to our deep sense of place and enhance our quality of life. Warren’s legacy lives on in every tree we water, every trail we maintain, and every space we protect and commit to steward.

This matters because when we speak with one voice about the Livingston we want—walkable, connected, rich in public space and green spaces and a thriving downtown—we position our city to access and compete for grants and resources that fund only these priorities without using our general fund and tax dollars. Federal and state programs will more likely invest in communities that demonstrate clear vision and strong public support for sustainable, livable development, and this is through a plan.
