Dothan is getting a new gateway to historic downtown Dothan. A new green area will sit where the former Sunnyland Packing Company operated. I remember trailers of hogs and cows unloading their livestock at this very packing company. The childhood tale of "this little piggy went to market..." was true to life. These 2 buildings have been vacant for many years and are now being donated to the city. Being on this busy road it can't be classified as a park, but it will be a green space with benches. You could call it a quiet place. It will serve as a gateway to Dothan's historical downtown. They will erect a sign to say such. This is a great way to utilize properties that would otherwise be left in total disrepair and continue being an eyesore. Beauty will welcome visitors and home folk to downtown Dothan.
