Hillmoor Commission - Sep 17, 2026
The commission settled on a $1.47 million ask over the first three bond years: finishing the southern loop trail, relocating and rebuilding the dog park, stabilizing eroding White River banks, starting oak forest restoration, and building the west side of the North Loop path. Native plantings and the east loop slipped to 2030, with hopes of private donations or a renewed Knowles-Nelson grant covering them.
