Corps
to Conduct Public Listening Sessions at Nimrod Lake
PLAINVIEW, Ark., Aug. 29 -- The Nimrod-Blue Mountain Project Office of
the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers will conduct a public listening session
at 6 p.m., Thursday, Sept. 20 at the group picnic shelter in Carter Cove
Park on Nimrod Lake.
The session is to inform the public of accomplishments at Nimrod Lake
during the past year and gather input and ideas from the public for upcoming
years. Public involvement is an important part of the Corps’ desire to
include stakeholders in its resource management decision-making process.
Hoover Willard, operations project manager for Nimrod and Blue Mountain
lakes, will open the session by reviewing the Corps’ mission at Nimrod
Lake and by reviewing upcoming plans for management of the lake.
Other natural resources and recreation personnel from the project office
will also be on hand. Input and ideas for the lake from the public will
be welcomed and received at the session. All ideas and input will be reviewed
and considered. A similar public listening session will be conducted at
Blue Mountain Lake in the spring.
