The Longview Economic Development Corporation Board of Directors approved funds towards adding pickleball courts, improved basketball courts, new soccer fields, new playgrounds with ball field and trail improvements. These additions stem from a city bond that was approved in 2018 as part of Longview's type B projects that help improve the city.
'While our primary mission at LEDCO is to establish and maintain primary jobs for our surrounding community, we are also keenly aware of the impact that quality of life can have on an individual's or a company's decision to locate in Longview. Because of this, LEDCO is supportive of our City's efforts to continue upgrading and improving our city parks and trails. When organizations work together for the benefit of the community, the positive effects are widespread and we couldn't be prouder to play a small part in that legacy.'
LEDCO CEO/President Wayne Mansfield
