Spencer, IA (northwestiowanow) — Residents are being encouraged to help shape the future of the Kindlespire Complex through a new master planning effort.

The Clay County Conservation Board and the Oneota Conservation Foundation are developing a long-range vision for the approximately 300-acre Kindlespire Park and the broader 1,000-plus-acre conservation complex along the Little Sioux River.

Clay County Conservation Board Director Will Horsley says the planning effort is designed to evaluate the area’s future.

The first public introduction to the master plan concept will come during the annual Fall Frolic event at Oneota Park on Sunday, November 15th.

The board is currently seeking public feedback through an online survey, which will help guide the master planning process and identify priorities for the property.

Horsley says officials hope to have a completed master plan ready for implementation by next spring or early summer.
