The number of seasonal campers at Mecosta County parks is on the rise and superintendent Jeff Abel wants to keep that trend going. One thing he'd like to see happen is a major improvement project a School Section Lake Veteran's Park.

“This would be adding septic service to camp sites 1 though 69, which are 50 amp, and now they'll be 50 amp with septic so our seasonsals will be able to utilize those services.”

There's a half million dollar price tag attached to the project and Abel says they're going to ask the County Commission for some help.

“Whether that's a loan or another source that the county's able to come up with to help us out, we'll be approaching them to see if they can assist us with that initial cost to the terms of about $300,000.”

Abel says the project would be a major advancement for School Section Lake and for Mecosta County campgrounds in general.
