Funds Pledged for Wall Lake State Park Project
In Webster City Iowa on July 25 more than half of a $2,500 goal to establish two public park areas on Wall Lake Wright County has been pledged. The Webster City Wall Lake Gun Club contributed $500 and pledges totaling about $1,000 more were reported. Community letters prompted responses from Wellburg Alden Williams Blairsburg and Alles as residents push to protect the northeast lake shore against private resort development. The Iowa Board of Conservation had considered acquisition by purchase or condemnation but funds were tied to other park projects.
