Project Status (Closed)
The overall multi million dollar project was literally within weeks of coming to an agreement. The project changed directions, when the City of Grove submitted a change in location to Wolf Creek City Ramp. City of Grove acquired necessary additional property and pursued the same venue as the Martin Landing project. The board preferred the Martin Landing project, primarily forthe fishermans convenience in location, etc., however.
The City of Grove project allows for a greater expansion of the project, and is projected to influence more accomadations for the fishing enthusiasts.
