Sidie Hollow - Campaign Readiness Study Summit (Online Survey)

The Sidie Hollow Park and Lake Project is exploring a $3.3 million capital campaign to restore and enhance one of Vernon County's most treasured outdoor destinations. The proposed improvements include dredging Sidie Hollow Lake to restore water quality and recreational opportunities, adding a public swimming beach area with a bathhouse, and making other park improvements that will preserve and strengthen the park for future generations.
