This area along First St. SW was to be a park. Behind the "River Bend Park" sign was part of the remains of the Farmers Co-op elevator. The buildings had to be razed to clear the area for park development. Funds from the Dept. of Housing and Urban Development were allotted to help pay for the land acquisition. Waverly Democrat; 17 Apr 1969.
