New soccer and dog park on Huntsville-Browns Ferry property
Madison
Summary
A resident says the Browns Ferry senior center needs more ground-level accessible parking — roughly six spots could be relined and about 20 more could open by relocating buses. She also warned the ceramics program's new semester schedule and instructor reassignment have left Monday students unable to pour projects for weeks, wasting class time with only five weeks left in the semester.
