Brookville, IN — U.S. Congressman Greg Pence and Senator Todd Young urged the United States Army Corps of Engineers Louisville District to support expanding recreational development in the 2020 Brookville Lake Master Plan.
In the joint letter, they wrote, “By opening the surrounding land to Brookville Lake to private development, Union and Franklin Counties will be able to use the additional revenue to upkeep the Brookville Lake and address the needs of tourists to the area.”
The 1979 Brookville Lake Master Plan included multiple expansion ideas that never came to fruition. For example, the 1979 Master Plan included plans for a restaurant, campground, and a 6-acre swimming pool complex built in the Battlepoint Area. The 2020 Master Plan does not include any of these major expansions. Both Senator Young and Congressman Pence strongly urge the inclusion of those plans similar to the 1979 Brookville Lake Master Plan to this year’s Master Plan.
