Research Trip to Columbus, Georgia Whitewater Park

Main Street Skowhegan Executive Director Kristina Cannon and Skowhegan Town Manager Christine Almand traveled to Columbus, Georgia in September 2019 to learn more about the downtown Chattahoochee River whitewater park designed by McLaughlin Whitewater Design Group—the architect Skowhegan has hired for Run of River. During the trip, Kristina and Christine learned about construction best practices and creative ROI methods that would enable the Town to generate revenue from the whitewater park—while still allowing individuals to use the park for free.
