Plans for a new state park are on the boards, and the first draft is expected on Thursday. A meeting will be held on that day at the Houston County Board of Education in Perry--a third and final public hearing on the proposal.
Three different concepts have been developed, and officials are asking for the public to choose. The site for the proposed park is an 858-acre property located between Interstate-75 and U.S. 41--just south of Perry. Each of the plans include a multi-use trail, hunting fields and public fishing lake. However, there is a question as to whether funding would be available in the upcoming Legislative session.
