Burlington, IA- Officials say that as soon as the weather allows, the boat ramp at Big Hollow Recreation Area will be rebuilt. "Three percent doesn't seem like much when you look at it on the engineer drawings," said Chris Lee, Des Moines County Conservation Executive Director. "But it will make a significant difference." The project is slated to begin as soon as weather conditions allow for concrete to be poured. While the site is under construction, there will be no boat access to the lake as Big Hollow only has the one ramp. The $40,000 project was made possible by two private donations totaling $10,000 which were used as match for a Water Recreation Access Cost-Share Grant.
