Parks Board Meeting - 10/28/20

Last night's parks board meeting had a lengthy agenda, but was in actuality a very brief meeting of only 29 minutes.

Middle portion of Indian Creek Trail between bridges will be closed November 9th - Christmas for the Merry Country Christmas hayrides.

A campground with 136 RV spaces at Morvin's Landing is still in the planning stages --awaiting approval and engineering specs. This land is in the flood plain.

The Harrison County Highway Department presented more information regarding the Lanesville Connector Road Mitigation Project and their need of the land at Morvin's Landing. There are major financial consequences if this issue is ignored.

Also, Buffalo Trace Park's raw sewage drainage problem is currently being investigated by the Harrison County Health Department. On-site dye testing to be done next week.

Next month's meeting will be Wednesday, November 18th at 7pm. Location TBD.
