LARA
The Lowell Area Recreation Authority (LARA) volunteer group was formed
to research ways to better the recreation opportunities for residents
in the Lowell Area. The LARA, through a grant provided by the Lowell Area
Community Fund of the Grand Rapids Foundation, proceeded by hiring the
Lansing-based firm of Landscape Architects & Planners, Inc. (LAP)
to help guide the LARA in the development of an area-wide trailway master
plan.
A board has been established
that consists of an elected official from Vergennes Township, Lowell Charter
Township and the City of Lowell. There are also 3 representatives from
each municipality and one jointly appointed representative.This multilateral
cooperative effort is intended to give the majority of the concerned entities
in the Lowell area an equal voice in the LARA recreation planning efforts.
