Teen recreation plan eyed for Benton summer
SIU student Gary Lemmon proposed Benton use the northeast square parking lot for four weeks of youth activities with a volleyball net music and games plus a sound system. Costed at 250 potentially cheaper with donations. Plan aims to survey high school students and may grow into a larger program. The council advised presenting to the Benton Youth Advisory Board and did not commit funding. Also a heliport ban near city limits excludes Franklin Hospital approval for a city heliport.
