Beginning September 23rd, the PWLA team will work to develop a single preferred concept plan. Currently, there is a general preference for Concept B, with an interest in extending the log nooks, including a pole light for pathway lighting, considering safety of the stepped stumps, and considering the height of the logs in the log nooks.
The PWLA team will then work up a refined concept plan, a draft photo simulation, and a draft cost estimate and distribute for review – tentatively targeting October 4 and provide two weeks for review and feedback, after which they will finalize the concept package and be ready to begin pursuing implementation funding by the end of October.
