Huntley Park Plan Prompts Local County Board Meeting
Taft outlines a seasonal amusement park proposal adjacent to an interchange with a 125 day season opening in 1976. The plan includes 200 full time staff, 2000 peak season workers, two wells and a water tank, two lakes for disposal, and a security force. Concession staff would be local, and admission would be six dollars.
