County outlines multi-year timeline for O'Connell, Mitchell and Harrison Park projects
Summary
County conservation staff said O'Connell Park foundation work was delayed by rain and outlined a schedule for multiple park projects: bidding this fall, bids returned in December, a Mitchell kickoff after July 4 next year, an interstate project completed by July 4, 2028, and Harrison Park beginning after Labor Day next year.
Conservation board members briefed the supervisors on park construction schedules and weather-related delays at the Sept. 15 meeting.
"This week, we were hoping to do foundation and, stuff for the shower house. Unfortunately, I don't know where that's gonna fall now with the rain," the conservation board member (speaker 6) said, noting two inches of rain in some areas had delayed foundation work at O'Connell Park. The speaker said if fall weather is normal the county expects to finish construction this fall and be ready by next spring.
Board members also discussed multi-year scheduling for larger projects. Final concepts and design plans are expected this fall, with bidding in November and bid awards in December. The conservation report set a target that the interstate project would start after the Fourth of July 2027 and be finished by the Fourth of July 2028 to avoid disrupting holiday celebrations; Harrison Park work was slated to start after Labor Day 2027.
County officials said the timeline is contingent on weather and contractor availability; supervisors did not take a formal vote on the schedule at this meeting.
