Public Informational Meeting To Be Held Next Week On Major Development Proposed For NW Side Of Milford

(Milford)– A group calling itself “Spirit of Okoboji” will officially unveil plans for a major development being proposed for the northwest side of Milford at a public informational meeting next week.
Tim Kinnetz, the organization’s President, says it would include more than 400 single and multi-family housing units; a year-round sports and entertainment venue; an expansion of a nearby city park, trails, an indoor family entertainment center, outdoor splash pad, dog park and other amenities…
“We really think that we have the opportunity here at the Iowa Great Lakes to do something wildly special and fantastic and the support from the community so far has been overwhelming. At this public meeting on June 8th at the Okoboji High School in Milford we will do the official unveiling of the concept and talk about some of the features that the plan could have.”
Kinnetz says, however, it all hinges on whether or not the city of Milford is willing to sell the nearby Fuller Airport to the group, which as we have reported previously, has an offer on the table for the site…
“If it will be acceptable to the city council to sell us that property we can then move into our next phase of true master planning and really hone in on the ideas that have been put forth and get construction underway.”
Kinnetz adds the public will have an opportunity to ask questions at next week’s meeting, but he’s urging people to submit them ahead of time…
“They can input questions right now at www.MilfordCampus.com. We’ll have cards that evening where people can submit questions, but we’d like questions to come in ahead of time so we can answer them during the community meeting so go to www.MilfordCampus.com, click on contact us, and there’s a form there that can be filled out where questions can be submitted, and we’ll do our best to answer those questions that night.”
The meeting is scheduled for 7:00 pm Wednesday, June 8th, at the Okoboji High School South Gymnasium.
