NCIL and Whetstone

At our meeting on April 6, 2017, Clintonville resident Doug Scholl gave a presentation regarding some actions that NCIL will be taking regarding the baseball diamonds immediately west of the tennis courts at Whetstone Park.  These actions are made in cooperation with the City of Columbus Department of Recreation and Parks and are aimed at improving the safety and effective use of those diamonds.  NCIL asked for the support of the Clintonville Area Commission.  After discussion and public comment, the commission voted to write a letter of support for these actions.  You will find a PDF version of the presentation in our documents section on this website under CAC Committee Reports/Minutes.
