Task force floats water park idea in Franklin County
A recreation task force proposed a regional water park funded by a county quarter cent sales tax, with poolside seating and slides, but the plan stalled as timing and competing tax proposals drew concerns from residents and Ottawa officials. Aiming to merge with the Fair Board’s move to relocate the fairgrounds, the group said it would revisit the concept later.
