Commission gets update on parks developments by Laura Fowler Paulus
The Marion County Commissioners met on Monday for their usual afternoon meetings. In addition to their usual business, the commissioners heard from Isaac Hett, superintendent for the Marion County Park and Lake, regarding the update for the new shop at the lake.
Hett let the commissioners know that the electricians have been working on the office and should finish up next week.
Hett had previously informed the commissioners that he had spoken with local stores and suppliers about food items and various tackle supplies. He spoke with Last Chance Bait who has recommended connecting with a shop in McPherson where they get their supplies. The commissioners approved the shop but also expressed the desire to shop local as much as possible. Propane and battery suppliers were also discussed.

A tree drop off site will be open at the entrance of Marion County Park through January 15th for those unable to participate on Monday or those outside Knoxville. The disposed trees will be used for wildlife cover and fish habitat in county conservation areas.
