Park District Receives Sizable Donation
MUSKINGUM COUNTY, Ohio-The Muskingum Valley Park District received a sizable donation from retired area Dr. Carl Schowengerdt.
The $100,000 donation will be spent on maintaining and servicing recreational trails. Executive Director Russell Edgington says the donation came at a perfect time.
“The current donation is actually gonna be used for the Muskingum Recreational Trail, that trail is actually the first that was constructed by the Park District. It runs from the Village of Dresden down to Ellis Dam. There are two sections of that dam that are not paved, and we are working right now with the Ohio Department of Transportation,” Edgington said from his office.
