Open house on Mill Creek Greenway plans set for Wednesday
A public informational meeting on the proposed redevelopment plans for Mill Creek Greenway Forest Preserve will be held Wednesday.
It will run from 4 to 6 p.m. at the Natural Resource Management facility located within Mill Creek Greenway Forest Preserve, 2N253 Brundige Road in Elburn.
The district plans to submit an application to the Illinois Department of Natural Resources for projects as part of their Open Space Land Acquisition & Development program.
The proposed plan includes a multi-skill level archery range, shelter, restroom, parking lot and interpretive nature trails.
Two plans (Option A and Option B) will be available for markup at the meeting, and the public is encouraged to share their comments.
Public comment also will be accepted online at bit.ly/PIM_Comments through Wednesday.
"This project is a perfect example of how the district can create wildlife habitat and new opportunities for recreation by retiring farmland. Archery is a growing sport and we plan to provide a course that caters to all skill levels and bow types," landscape architect Zach Tegge said.
District staff will be available to answer questions at the meeting. For more information, call the administrative headquarters at (630) 232-5980.
