Local updates: Van Handles sale could threaten trail route; Iron City Grill to open
Summary
Committee members reported the Van Handles parcel is for sale — a sale could jeopardize an existing trail route — and a new restaurant, Iron City Grill, is expected to open in the old school building; clubs also discussed recent events and the upcoming buck run permit distribution.
Committee members raised two community items: a privately held parcel used for a trail (Van Handles) is on the market and could affect an existing route from Gregg Grove/Lyons Falls Road to Hurdick's Crossing if a new owner restricts access, and a local entrepreneur is planning to open Iron City Grill in the old school building after operating catering through Divine Catering.
"He just came to... He's opening a restaurant here soon. It's gonna be the Iron City Grill," a participant said, describing the new business and noting its prior catering work. Members recommended outreach to the operator as a potential partner for events and said they would watch how the Van Handles sale proceeds because it could determine whether the county retains that trail segment.
Clubs also reviewed recent activities (a scavenger hunt with about 40 participants and an upcoming celebration of life) and confirmed they will distribute newsletter copy and posters for the buck run permit once McKenna provides the materials.
