Julian and Ethel Clay Price Park ~ 93 acres, Guilford County
Jefferson-Pilot Insurance Company. Sale of Land.
“People have asked me why we want to save this land. It is not just for the past, not just to honor Julian and Ethel Clay Price, but because we hope that this land will become what we in Greensboro need – a ‘vacant lot’ where we can see our imagination to create plays, write poetry, discover nature, sing, be happy and enjoy God’s goodness and our fellow man.” ~ Kay Edwards
In partnership with the City of Greensboro, PLC acquired a significant portion of the Jefferson-Pilot Club House Property in 1999. PLC subsequently transferred the property subject to a conservation easement to the City of Greensboro’s Parks and Recreation Department. The easement placed on the property ensures that it will be managed as a natural area park to be enjoyed by the public for years to come.
In
2000, the easement was amended so the City could replace the former
Jefferson-Pilot Clubhouse with the Kathleen Clay Edwards Family Branch Library
-- an environmentally focused library. With the addition of the library to the
property, Kay Edward’s love of libraries and this special place have been
combined forever.
Project funding provided by Kay Bryan Edwards, Kathleen Price Bryan Family Fund, the City of Greensboro, and PLC.
