State park community meeting

Wyoming State Parks Employees and local officials are looking for community support in creating the Hot Springs State Park Master Plan.

Representatives from the state will present alternative plans for the park, which have been in the works for months. The plans will outline the long range and comprehensive water use and management, recreational use and desires for the park, along with resource protection and future partnership development in the park.

When the plan is completed, the park should have a comprehensive outline for future growth over the next 20 years.

Now is the time for community members to voice their ideas and concerns regarding open space, trails, thermal waters, river improvements, recreation and other things state park employees will present.

The meeting will be on May 11 in the Thermopolis Middle School commons, 1450 Valleyview Drive.

The open house will go from 6 p.m. until around 8 p.m.
