Rochester Park tourism chair urges county to fix trail drainage, refill gravel and service restroom at historic fort
Miss Chappell, who identified herself as chair of the Rochester Park County Tourism Commission, urged the Clark County Fiscal Court to address maintenance needs at a county‑owned Civil War fort and its trail during the public‑comment portion of the special meeting.

Chappell said drainage diversions along the trail are filled and need to be regraded, that gravel placed in a lower trail ditch should be replenished to slow and direct water flow, and that two wooden benches have been stolen. She also said the restroom at the site likely needs pumping. "Our visitor log has told us we have visitors from all 50 states and several foreign countries over the years," Chappell said, noting the site's regional visitation and the tourism commission’s willingness to help facilitate repairs.

Court members acknowledged past gravel work and signaled there are funding balances that could be used for trail maintenance; one member noted nearly $99,000 remained in a referenced account. No formal action to allocate funding was recorded in the transcript; members discussed practical next steps including county crews spreading gravel and coordinating with property owners for access.
