CITY OF DEXTER AWARDED GRANT FOR LAKE UPGRADES
The Dexter city lake recently got improvements thanks to a partnership between the Missouri Department of Conservation and local officials.
The MDC and the City of Dexter recently worked together to bring restroom facilities and a walkway to Dexter City Lake through a Land Conservation Partnership Grant.
Through the agreement, MDC provided a grant to the city for reimbursement of costs associated with construction and placement of an Americans with Disabilities Act accessible single-user concrete restroom and reinforced concrete walkway, which totaled over $29,000.
The entire cost of the project was roughly $70,000, with the remaining amount covered by the City of Dexter.
