There was a presentation made by the Natural Resources Commission, Mr. Dave Pederson, with the assistance of Mr. Tony Willeke, advising the Council of the Vermillion River Parkway concept plan, and recommending purchase of land south of the Vermillion River on both the east and west side of T.H. 61 from CSAH 47 bridge to T.H. 61 through the Hagen farm properties. The urgency of their request was in view of the fact that flood protection work could be completed in 1974, which means that once the flood threat was removed from this porperty south of the river, the property values would substantially increase.
