Summary

The March 2012 Beaver Beacon reports that St. James Township unanimously approved its Recreation Plan by resolution after public discussion and revisions. The plan addressed recreation assets, special-needs access, the Garden Island cemetery, hunting and fishing, possible dock work, and five-year budgeting.

Evidence limits

The newspaper says the revised plan would be sent to the DNR; this record does not establish later state approval or implementation.
