Two LGA Employees Join 10th Annual Playground Build at Paw Creek Elementary School

May 9, 2012

The 10th Annual Playground Build was a unique opportunity to bring together Charlotte professionals to build a new school playground in one working day at Paw Creek Elementary School off Brookshire Boulevard. Armand Brown and Jeremy Selan, who represented LGA at the event, started their day with outdoor stretching and inspirational music. All volunteers were split into teams to tackle different tasks, ranging from earth diggers and mulchers to weed eaters and hammerheads. During the build, Paw Creek students entertained the volunteers with singing, dancing and music from the school band. Along with the completion of a new playground, the staff was delighted to find a teachers’ breakroom was constructed outside the school with seating and a garden. At the end of the day, a group photo was taken featuring all the volunteers with an excited group of elementary school students and teachers.

On Earth Day, Anne Springs Close Greenway shares expansion plans

April 26, 2012

The Anne Springs Close Greenway is expanding its reach with help from LGA to get the word out about improvements at the 2,100-acre Greenway, located a few minutes south of Charlotte. More than twice the size of Central Park, the Greenway has been preserved for future generations by Anne Springs Close and her family, who want to share the woods and waterways and wildlife habitat with the people of the region. Mrs. Close, the matriarch of the Springs/Close textile family, spoke to The Charlotte Observer, WFAE radio and other media on the eve of Earth Day last week to share the history of the land that has been in her family for more than 200 years, and once served as a strategic location for the Catawba Indians, early settlers, Revolutionary and Civil War soldiers, and as a cotton plantation. Now, the Greenway is adding summer camps and nature programs and studying possible improvements such as a welcome center and open-air amphitheater.
