No Funds For Rathbun Planning Move Considered
Ron Grier told the Rathbun Planning Commission that an Attorney General opinion allows four county areas around Rathbun Lake to adopt targeted planning zones within a larger county. Funds for studies are lacking as federal support is unavailable, though some may free up next year. Stanley Engineering will present a preliminary plan for phased development and services, while local boards weigh budget support for orderly growth. Representatives from Appanoose, Monroe, Wayne, and Lucas counties attended.
