This will be an open house forum with doors opening at 5:30 p.m. and closing at 8 p.m. The purpose of this meeting is to discuss general plans for a lake restoration project at Lake Keomah to improve water quality and recreational opportunities.

Construction is tentatively scheduled to start in fall 2024 and continue into spring 2026. Planned improvements include additional watershed practices to protect the lake, stabilizing the shoreline, dredging in targeted areas, upgrading the boat ramp and trail, and improving fish habitat.
