Unveiling of Choccolocco Park

The City of Oxford, Alabama, unveiled its new $36 million dollar sports and recreational facility yesterday. Several hundred people turned out for the opening festivities along with 50 members of the Arbeka Ceremonial Grounds of the Muscogee (Creek) Nation. The Arbeka people are direct descendants of the Native Americans that use to call this land home just 180 years ago before they were forcibly removed. The archeological requirements of the project under Section 106 brought to light the depth of history to the land. Over the past 6 years Frazer Environmental, along with Robert Perry of R.E. Perry and Associates, Jim Noles of Balch and Bingham, and Mike Hamrick from Goodwyn, Mills and Cawood have worked in tandem with the City of Oxford, the USACE, the Alabama Historical Commission and the Muscogee (Creek) Nation to not only fulfill the requirements of Section 106, but to create a place that is educational and respectful of the past. More about the grand opening can be found in Anniston Star's article linked below.

The 350-acre sports, recreation and archeological park is set to open in Oxford, Alabama this Sunday, October 16. This City of Oxford began envisioning this park almost 10 years ago. Through the City's dedication and commitment to the project and the process for Section 106 Historic Consultation, new friendships have been formed, history uncovered, and a truly special place has been created. Frazer Environmental is happy to have been a part of this unique project that has helped to write the history of the Choccolocco Valley in eastern Alabama.
