Marshall County Parks and Recreation Board to Meet Tonight

The Marshall County Parks and Recreation Board members are anticipated to discuss updates on progress on the Mill Pond Bicycle Trail and the West Township Trustee cabin and the clean up efforts at Memorial Forest during their meeting tonight. They also expect to appoint a member to the Marshall County Crossroads Regional Stellar Communities Initiative.

The meeting will begin at 6 p.m. tonight in the second floor meeting room (Room 203) in the Marshall County Building at 112 W. Jefferson Street in Plymouth.

Following the regular meeting, the second steering committee meeting will convene for another opportunity to meet with MACOG officials in the process of putting together a five-year plan for the Marshall County Parks.

The first session involved a group of about 20 members who went over existing conditions in the county, aspirations, strengths, and barriers.  They also reviewed common themes to incorporate into a vision statement.

Information will go back with MACOG officials Donny Ritsema and Brett Roberts to assemble more of the plan including needs, gaps and strategies before it is submitted to the Indiana Department of Natural Resources on April 15.
