Work moving forward on construction of Alix Rice Peace Park skatepark

AMHERST, N.Y. (WIVB) – One day before the six year anniversary of the crash that killed 18-year-old Alex Rice as she was riding on her skateboard, her family and friends joined Amherst town leaders to mark a major milestone for the skatepark being named in her honor.
Although digging has already started at the site near the Northtown Center, a ceremonial groundbreaking was held Friday morning, as organizers celebrated work moving forward. Construction can now begin.
