Electric City authorizes parks and recreation planning

The Electric City council has moved forward on developing a parks and recreation plan for the city.

The council authorized city planner Kurt Danison to move forward by voting up to $5,000 to develop the plan.

Danison had noted that the development of the plan will include three public meetings to gather input from residents.

He also outlined that a finished plan would put the city in position to seek grants for development of parks and recreation projects, including the proposed trail, inside the city.

He wrote the council: “It not only lets all other local, state and federal agencies know what the community is planning, it can provide a basis for making comments related to potential recreation improvements.”

Danison said that he plans to use the Bridgeport plan as a model, and a survey being conducted by Grant County Health District for additional material.
