Environmental Commitee Creates a Master Plan

At our last Environmental Committee meeting, a draft of a Simonton Lake Master Plan of Improvements was presented, reviewed and discussed. This Master Plan addresses many of the issues put forth in the 2011 Diagnostic Study of the lake by identifying environmental concerns and offering solutions, along with cost impacts. It is, in effect, a continuation, expansion and formalization of the ideas presented at the community meeting of December 14, 2015.
