Park Meeker Run District plans conservation park

Conservation plans for Meeker Run district south of Nelsonville envision a park lake and recreation center.

A dam and levee, road improvements, and line relocations are proposed with costs around five thousand dollars for dam work and three thousand for power line relocation.
