Mount Hope RV park still planned at undetermined location, public meeting set for October

Plans to build an RV park on flood buyout property in the Bailey’s Bottom area of Mount Hope are no longer moving forward.

Funding for the RV park appears to remain available. A public meeting is planned for the first week of October to provide an update, with the exact date not yet announced.
