7/16/13 - A lease approval by the Livingston County Board of Commissioners last night brought the Howl and Bark Dog Park one step closer to reality. The county authorized a property lease for the park to be located on the southern portion of Highlander Way, called McPherson Park Boulevard, in the countyâs West Complex. It will be situated on a 2.4-acre plot between the Central Dispatch and Animal Control buildings. The Friends of the Howell Dog Park will approach the Howell Parks and Recreation Authority Board tonight for their approval to use the site. Their representative last night was City Councilman Steve Manor, who tells WHMI securing a lease to the land will allow them to begin raising funds for the park. He estimates that they will have to raise about $35,000 to install a fence, gates, a paddock, water, and electricity for lighting. That amount will also cover the first year of operation for the facility, which will be called the Howl and Bark Dog Park. Follow the link below for the parkâs official website. (TD)
