County Owned Park Between Galena and Elizabeth Discussed

Jo Daviess County officials are considering the creation of a county-owned park. County board members have discussed the potential purchase of a property near Hanover that could be converted into a park during a meeting of the Ad-Hoc Jo Daviess County Economic Development Committee. Jo Daviess County Board Chair Scott Toot, who initially proposed the idea, said the owner of the property is also interested in the land becoming a park. The property being considered is located off of South Rodden Road between Galena and Elizabeth.
