Rend Lake master plan workshop is Thursday

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers will hold a public workshop regarding the master plan update for Rend Lake. The public is invited to attend this meeting, which is the second in a series of workshops designed to keep the public informed throughout the update process.

The workshop will be held from 5 to 7 p.m. Aug. 23 at the Rend Lake Visitor Center, located at 11981 Rend City Rd. in Benton.

The workshop will highlight key updates that have been made to the Rend Lake master plan; will include a brief presentation about the master plan update process; and will conclude with a summary of the differences between the existing plan and the updated plan.

The plan addresses outdoor recreation and environmental stewardship activities occurring on lands owned by the Corps of Engineers at Rend Lake. The plan does not address shoreline management, water control or water quality, since these activities are included in other Corps of Engineers operating plans.
