Miller Springs Nature Center will remain open to the public and managed by the cities of Temple and Belton for the next 20 years once a new lease agreement with a federal agency is completed.
On Tuesday evening, the Belton City Council authorized City Manager Sam Listi to approve the lease agreement for the Miller Springs Nature Center â a joint operation between Temple, Belton and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
âWe are currently in the third year of a five-year lease, and all parties ⦠believe it is in the public interest to extend the existing agreement to 2041 with very minor changes to the language,â a Belton city staff report said.
