At the Feb. 21 Rotary Club of Kirksville meeting, a $5,000 check from a matching grant was presented to the Forest Lake Area Trail System (FLATS) Chair Dan Martin for trailhead electricity, which is being installed this week. FLATS in turn received a $5,000 matching grant from the Missouri Department of Conservation which covered the entire $10,000 installation cost. The grants will provide electricity to the pavilion, a restroom, and two telephone poles which were donated by Ameren. Later this spring, concrete sidewalks, a pavilion pad and parking lot will be poured. The FLATS Trailhead will soon become a Kirksville city park.
