HURON During the Huron City Commission meeting Monday evening, Parks & Recreation Director Chad Schroder presented during public forum. He informed the commission and public that an informational meeting regarding future plans for Gibbs Park/Stony Run Park would be held on Wednesday, November 19, at 5:30 p.m., in the Blackburn Room at the Campus Center, 333 9th St. SW.
Schroder explained the importance of public input at the meeting for the landscape architecture students who designed the concept plans for the park.
It gives a chance for the SDSU landscape architecture students to showcase the work that theyve put together for us in that area, Schroder stated. I think its an exciting time for that area.
