Local action chosen for Squaw Creek Park lake plan
A Iowa Conservation Commission staff group says local action is the most feasible path to develop a Squaw Creek Park lake. The Linn County Conservation Board sent the report to the county supervisors for response and delayed its own budget decision pending supervisor actions. The plan would spend 500000 in 1979 with 250000 federal funds, and a second phase of 700000 next year with 380000 county funding and potential revenue sharing advances, depending on tax increases and legal constraints.
