48 CIVIL AND MUNICIPAL VOLUME 4, ISSUE 10 conveys, “We coordinate with organizations like the Carrollton Symphony Orchestra, the Carrollton Community Theatre, and the Carrollton Artists Guild, but the facility itself was constructed by and continues to be run by the city. That’s pretty cool to have, literally a block off of the town square.” Mayor Cason shares that the Southeastern Quilt Museum is another noteworthy feature, sharing, “It’s in an old building that’s located just across from City Hall and two blocks down from the town center. It is a growing attraction here in our city. People come from everywhere because of the uniqueness of the quilts and displays. Next year, they’re going to host a great exhibition of art quilts. It’s going to be held at the university because we don’t have space in the museum here. So that’s a big draw for us.” The Carrollton Greenbelt is another gem of the community, offering 20 miles of linear park space with an 18-mile loop around the city. It connects various neighborhoods and parks, including the university and city school campuses. The Greenbelt has also spurred new construction and development in the area since its completion in 2017. “In that regard, I think we’re a community that embraces the outdoors,” notes Studdard. She says that Carrollton is also home to a disc golf course, recognized as ‘Best in State’, describing, “It’s about eight-tenths of a mile from our city center, in a 200-acre park. Our local Disc Golf Association hired John Houck to design and develop it. He is very popular, he’s kind of the Jack Nicklaus of disc golf courses. It draws a ton of people into the community to come visit that disk golf course because it’s very well known in the region and state.” ©2023SouthwireCompany, LLC. C A R E E R S . S O U T HW I R E .
