Beattie Park project advances as city acts
Lompoc City Council approved six actions to start the 43 acre Beattie Park’s first phase. Parks director Jack Anderson outlined the master plan with designer Rob Northrop, highlighting facilities and the 1974 donations from the Beattie family Seventh-day Adventist Church and Johns Manville. The council endorsed the environmental report and master plan, moved to pursue 1974 state park bonds and Land and Water Conservation funds, and set up a consultant committee for phase one design. State bond funds of 104427 are anticipated for 1976 77 once accepted, with matching LWCF funds likely boosting total available funds.
