The city of Emporia expressed support for improvements to the Southwest Santa Fe Skateboard Park, as commissioners reviewed renderings of the project Wednesday afternoon. The skateboard park received an anonymous $250,000 donation last year to make improvements and updates. The donation came after Maddox Gutierrez, a local teenager, petitioned the city to make improvements to the park. The city will review renderings from American Ramp Company and pricing quotes for construction. According to its web site, American Ramp Company has been in the action sports park business for more than 20 years.
