SPEAKING OUT...Approximately 15 members of the Clark Reservoir Committee, an ad hoc citizens’ group, addressed the Union County Board of County Commissioners on Wednesday. The group, comprised of residents from throughout the area, is asking county officials to tone down plans for the reservoir and to remove active amenities like an ice-skating rink and an electric train ride from its proposal.

County Officials, Residents Still Split Over Reservoir Plans
COUNTY — Last month, the Union County Board of County Commissioners announced that it planned to scale back designs for the Clark Reservoir in response to public concerns related to environmental challenges and the project’s potential impact on the neighboring community. And while county officials say the new plans — which include dredging the reservoir and adding a series of passive amenities like fishing piers and boat ramps to the area — represent a simpler, more eco-friendly approach to outdoor entertainment, some residents said Wednesday that the revised proposal may still be too complex for the surrounding area.
