Open Space Team pursues funds for Lone Star Lake Park upgrades
Douglas County Open Space Team seeks to dedicate part of the Open Space Plan funding to Lone Star Lake Park and other projects. In 2022 the county allocated 2.78 million from ARPA for park improvements, land conservation, and the Wakarusa River Corridor. The plan calls for replacing shelters, a swim dock, picnic tables, campground fire rings, plus a new fishing dock and ADA kayak launch. The team will present details on Act expenses for conservation work by early fall 2024. The meeting agenda also includes sheriff's department request for a MailSec scanner, Route 442 bridge plan, and a briefing from the Douglas County Food Policy Council. The business meeting starts at 5:30 p.m. in the Public Works training room with Zoom access.
