PUBLIC MEETINGS
to Review the Morgan County Parks and Recreation Master Plan
The Morgan County Parks and Recreation board is hosting two meetings to get residents' feedback on its final master plan draft. The meetings are:
March 2, 2010, 6pm at the Moorseville Public Library Community Room; and
March 9, 2010, 6:30pm at the Morgan County Administration Building in Martinsville in the Lucille Sadler room.
The meetings will be open house style. Park board members and staff will be available to answer questions and record comments. Information about the plan will be displayed on a running slide presentation and posters. Please stop by and spend as little or as much time as you want. Your feedback is very important to us.
The master plan will be available for review at www.morgancountyparks.com and at the Mooresville and Martinsville libraries about one week prior to the March 2nd meeting.
