A mysterious benefactor???

Near the end of a long and very productive Lee County Commissioners meeting Monday morning (at least stories will be in tomorrow's paper from it,) Board Chairman Bob Brown alerted his fellow commissioners that the county may have found a "rich uncle" so to speak, eager to help out at least one of the county's 24 departments.

It seems Brown and County Manager John Crumpton were contacted last week by the law firm of Helms, Mulliss and Wicker, who said one of the firms clients, who wished to remain anonymous, plans to donate a significant amount of real property to a county park which the land joins soon. The law firm asked the board to confirm its interest in the property through a vote, which the commission did, even though they don't knwo where it is.

Actually, Crumpton and Brown know who plans to donate the land, and where it is. But they are not talking, because the benefactor hopes to remain anonymous through the process.
Which leads me to speculate a little as to the location. The only clues Crumpton would give is that the property would connect several tracts of land the park currently owns and that it would significantly reduce traffic and safety concerns there...Hmm...

My guess is SanLee Park...Or maybe O.T. Sloan...Or it could be at Dalrymple...

I give. I guess we'll have to wait until Oct. 15 at 3 p.m., the commission's next meeting, to learn more...
