Hope Mills Lake Park redesign and master plan
The town surveyed 502 residents on three redesign concepts and 46% picked option 3 — more parking, safety fencing, permanent restrooms, and a playground buffered from Main Street. The rough cost is about $1.5 million, but staff plans to fund it through grants rather than taxpayer dollars. The final master plan will come back to the board for a formal vote.
