Plans are in motion to construct a new shelter on Bluemont Hill near the scenic overlook.
The Manhattan Parks and Recreation Advisory Board moved Monday to recommend the city partner with the Manhattan Kiwanis Club on the project. It’s now up to the city commission to decide the shelter’s fate.
“We felt that a shelter up there would be nice, rather than just picnic tables,” Mark Maxwell, past president of Manhattan Kiwanis, said. “It would make it more enjoyable to come up and have events for your family and stuff up there.”
