City provides update on John Lucas Enhancement project
ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (News-Press NOW) -- The City of St. Joseph Parks and Recreation held an open public meeting last week regarding the John Lucas Enhancement Project.
Among the topics discussed were improvements to the deck area of the park, updated curbs, railing, playground upgrades and resurfaced basketball courts.
Some of the renovations and improvements will be dependent on a $500,000 Land and Water Conservation grant from the Missouri Department of Natural Resources.
The grant will be submitted in November, but official approval won't be confirmed until November 2026.
If approved, construction wouldn't break ground until 2027.
News-Press NOW will update this story.
