“The project will serve as a catalyst for improving the image of Decker Boulevard, bringing further attention and recognition to the International Corridor,” said Essence Holmes, neighborhood planner for Richland County.

The County aims to provide a piece of wilderness amid the developed area along Decker, complete with an outdoor space for community gatherings, access points to Jackson Creek and educational signage.

Richland County values feedback on the restoration project from members of the community, and the County will use public input to help inform the design plan for the space.
