AIRMAN'S BEACH/CONNELLY PARK IMPROVEMENT MEETINGS BEGIN Design Concept, 2nd Public Meeting - Come and Give Your Input! In 1980 the Moses Lake Irrigation and Rehabilitation District purchased 126 acres known as Airman's Beach, later named Connelly Park, from the Government of the United States. The "Program of Utilization" stipulation is the area "will be used for park and recreation purposes." Within the past few years many community leaders, local associations and citizens have been asking MLIRD if the Park will ever be expanded. Interested parties have stated the need for year-round campgrounds and additional sporting event accommodations for our community. In addition to such possibilities being discussed by MLIRD management to comply with the "Program of Utilization" for the past three years, the opportunity to make this central location in the State of Washington become a focal point for an Interpretive Center and Water Quality Institute is gaining momentum. Blending recreation and education aspects of our area seem to be a perfect blend for this location. We invite you to join us in a design concept discussion in the Choir Room at Moses Lake High School. Thursday, August 5, 2010 at 7:00 p.m. #07061/1092533 Pub.: July 15 & 23, 2010
