Camp Kidd has a new access road. County works crews have been working on the road that is designed to access a 100 acre field that previously was not able to be accessed easily. Joe Long updated the Tucker County Commission on the progress of the road at the Commission’s meeting.
Long said the construction of the access road to the bottom field of Camp Kidd is complete. “The road to our land at the bottom of Camp Kidd where there is probably a 100 acres of field,” Long said. “It’s pretty much complete and it’s beautiful.”
Tucker County Commission President Mike Rosenau said that the road was needed due to limited access currently that required either accessing through private property or through the golf course. “The only access we had to the lower fields and that 100 acres down there, is you had to access it through another man’s property, another farm, or an easement right through the middle of the golf course. Well, we couldn’t do that either,”Rosenau said. “In order for us to access the lower fields at Camp Kidd, we had to construct a road.”
Rosenau said he had visited the site recently and was pleased with the results. “I went down there the other day and it opened up that whole bottom,” Rosenau said.
Rosenau thanked Long and his crew on the work that was done. “Thank you for a job well done,” Rosenau said.
Long also reported that his crew were working on constructing a small kitchen in the concession stand at Camp Kidd, as well. “We’re working on the concession stand putting a small kitchen in,” Long said.
According to Long, the new kitchen is still under construction with crews having the demolition phase complete and have laid out the new kitchen with only the construction of the new kitchen to complete. “We got it tore out, we got it laid out and it’s still in the construction phase,” Long said.
The next meeting of the Tucker County Commission will be held Wednesday, February 28 at 4 p.m. at the Tucker County Courthouse Old Courtroom in Parsons.
