Deuel Area Development, Inc (DADi) would like to invite the you all to attend ‘The Big Meeting’ on Thursday, April 30^th at 5:15pm at the Deuel County 4H Service Center.  The purpose of this meeting is review the design board results of Design:SD, Project Deuel County, and to prioritize, organize, and begin implementation of the recommendations suggested by Design:SD, Project Deuel County.  We will form project teams based around your personal interest, and will each team will identify which projects they would like to work on (i.e. outdoor seating on main street, signage, disc golf course at Clear Lake, walking path, etc).  Our goal is also to utilize existing area volunteer & civic organizations to participate in and contribute to the projects, and each group will discuss how they might involve the group(s) they are involved in.

The 25 design boards fall into five major categories:

·         Connecting the communities

·         Beautify Main Street

       (outdoor seating, landscaping, street lighting, bump-outs along Hwy 15, unified signage)

 

·         Clear Lake redevelopment    

       (disc golf course, walking path / bike trails to athletic fields and lake, rejuvenate and develop parks)

 

 

·         Gary redevelopment

·         Housing development
