Duncan Park Clubhouse Renovation Takes Center Stage in Natchez Renewal

Exciting developments are unfolding at Duncan Park, located at 57 Duncan Park Road, as a vital community enhancement reaches out for help from the community. The Duncan Park Clubhouse, formerly known as The Naval Reserve Building, is on the cusp of a transformative renovation.

Scheduled for January 16, 2024, the opening of bids for the Golf Clubhouse Renovation signals a key phase in this transformative initiative. The community is invited to join in and accelerate the project’s progress, with a local donor generously pledging a $50,000 match to propel fundraising efforts toward the final $100,000 needed after inflationary budget increases.

This endeavor is much more than a golf-centric project. It serves as a vital economic driver set to attract residents, businesses, and conventions to the area. The Duncan Park Clubhouse, steeped in history and listed on the Historic National Register as a Mississippi Landmark, holds a special place in our community’s heritage. The architects have designed stunning plans for the Clubhouse’s transformation.

City officials emphasize the urgency of acting swiftly to cover the gap in the required budget for bid release. To encourage immediate community support, a $50,000 matching grant has been secured, making every dollar contributed doubly impactful.

Mayor Dan M. Gibson expressed, “Let’s come together as a community and make the Duncan Park Clubhouse renovation an integral part of the Natchez Renewal. We’re so grateful for the matching grant to help us make this project a reality. Your support today will shape a better tomorrow for all. Time is indeed of the essence!”
