Proposed campground Lincoln Capital Campground will hold public hearings on Jan. 21. Dave and Jolene Queen of Lincoln are planning to build a large campground on the southwest corner of Highway 77 and Davey Road. It would be on an area of 45 acres and would have up to 240 campsites with water and electrical hookups, management and operational facilities such as a registration/check-in office and store and amenities like a swimming pool, playground and sports fields.
Suzi Nelson of The Waverly News covers in her article, "A group of neighboring landowners has formed an opposition group called Citizens for Protection of Rural Life (CPR Life). In a press release, the group said it has appealed the decision by the Lancaster County Planning Commission to recommend approval of a special permit for the project. The decision came after a six-hour meeting on Dec. 4." The group is concerned about several issues regarding the campground, including the increased number of people it will bring to an area of Lancaster County. The public hearings on Jan. 21 will be held in room 112 of the City County Building in Lincoln.
