Residents oppose outdoor amusement park plan on Richton Park highway
Public hearing on the proposed outdoor amusement park drew about 20 residents who object to noise and argued the project should not be approved. Attorney Lemmen Eley outlined plans including an entertainment complex, mini golf, arcade, batting cages, go cart track and trampoline courts. Planning commissioners postponed the review to August 23 to consider rezoning from B-2 to B-3 and a special use permit, noting current nonconforming use laws and required building code upgrades.
