SUMMARY:Public Presentation of Comprehensive Master Plan
DESCRIPTION:Hendricks County Parks & Recreation (HCP&R) invites the public to attend a presentation of their 2026-30 Comprehensive Master Plan (CMP) on March 18 at 7 p.m. in Meeting Rooms 4 & 5 of the Hendricks County Government Center in Danville. \nThe CMP covers demographic and geographic information about Hendricks County and its amenities\, but more importantly\, HCP&R gathers public input about their parks and services and goals for the next five years. The Hendricks County Park Board takes that public input into consideration when creating a list of priorities through 2030. \nThe results of the public input and the Park Board’s priorities will be revealed at the March 18 meeting. Additionally\, there will be a Q&A session for anyone who has questions or wants to provide last-minute input. \nAfter the public presentation\, HCP&R will send its CMP to the Indiana Department of Natural Resources no later than April 15. Upon state approval of the CMP\, HCP&R will become eligible to apply for federal and state grants through 2030. \nThe department has received two such grants in recent years. In 2021\, it was awarded $500\,000 through the Land & Water Conservation Fund grant for improvements to W.S. Gibbs Memorial Park\, including modern restrooms. \nIn 2025\, HCP&R received a second Land & Water Conservation Fund grant in the amount of $994\,000 for the expansion of the Vandalia Trail west of Clayton. That project is tentatively scheduled to begin in 2027. \nA public survey is available through March 6 for those interested in providing feedback to HCP&R prior to the public presentation. All responses are anonymous. \nHCP&R operates McCloud Nature Park outside of North Salem\, W.S. Gibbs Memorial Park in Avon\, and the western portion of the Vandalia Trail that runs through Amo and Coatesville.
