Bill Expands Muscatine Riverfront Park Plan
In Washington a bill proposes converting a 20 acre Muscatine riverfront industrial site into a public park. HR 524d, filed by Rep Fred Schwengel, would let Muscatine reuse the Wacré area for park use with a clause that if river terminal needs arise the city would convert it back at its expense. The subcommittee on rivers and harbors reported the measure favorably and it moves to the Public Works Committee next week. Earlier curb and gutter work for a park driveway was installed by the Muscatine Levee Commission.
