<\/p>\n

One of the planned features incorporated into the extension is a private development pad which will be sold to a private developer who will build a mixed use facility consisting of restaurants, commercial, and residential spaces. The money raised from this sale will go into funding future development of the Riverwalk area.<\/p>\n

Future Project Phases will encompass developing enhanced parking facilities, further development of the Great Lawn, a Pavilion, Fort Clark Plaza, Fishing Piers and Picnic Shelters, and a pedestrian bridge across the Red River to Fort Defiance connecting to .85 miles of new walking trails and an Interpretive Center, this also has potential to connect up in the future with the Clarksville Greenway.<\/p>\n
