Decision made on future of Atchison Co Lake

(KAIR)-Less than a week following a heavy turnout at a special meeting of the Atchison County Commission focused on the proposed sale of the Atchison County Lake, "an important decision regarding the future of" the lake is made.

That came during Tuesday's regular Commission meeting when, a release from the County says, the Commission decided not to sell the lake, instead opting "to form a committee dedicated to helping guide decisions around upkeep, revitalization, and long-term planning for this valued community asset."

The committee will also explore ways to generate revenue and enhance the lake- benefit to both the County and its citizens.

The idea of a lake-focused community committee was discussed, and explored, during last week's special meeting, which ended with an apparent concensus to move forward with that proposal.

According to the release, more information regarding formation of the committee is forthcoming.

Public concern was raised after the Commission, in March, announced consideration of selling the near 217 acres of tax-exempt lake property which would then become taxable.
