Additional Public Meeting on Proposal to Allow Diving in Kentucky’s Greenbo Lake set for Apr. 12
The Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources will hold a second public meeting April 12 to further discuss a proposal to allow SCUBA diving within a 10-acre section of Greenbo Lake in Greenup County. The meeting will begin at 7 p.m. Eastern time at the Greenbo Lake State Resort Park lodge.
The proposal calls for creation of a public diving area in a cove to provide additional recreational opportunities. Divers would be allowed to use the area from 10 a.m. until 6 p.m., April through October. The area would be open for angling at other times. The proposal includes habitat and shoreline improvements. Any interested parties are urged to attend and participate as input from the meeting will largely influence Kentucky Fish and Wildlife’s decision concerning this proposal.
The Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources, an agency of the Kentucky Tourism, Arts and Heritage Cabinet, is responsible for the conservation of fish and wildlife resources and for boating projects in the state. A commissioner appointed by the Fish and Wildlife Commission heads the department. The commission, which is responsible for department policy, is a nine member bipartisan body appointed by the governor from a list of candidates voted upon by sportsmen's organizations in each of nine districts.
