The Grand Marais Park Board has been meeting with the public and working with Carduus Consulting for months and has developed a final Recreation Park Master Plan for the public to review and comment on. The final public forum will be held Tuesday, July 28 at 7:00 p.m. in the Recreation Hall at the campground (just south of the pool).
At its last regular Park Board meeting on July 7, the park board reached consensus on what it would like to see at the Rec. Park and formulated a list of elements for Carduus Consultant Bob Bruce to incorporate into a final design map.
