Empire VC discusses Shalda Park, parking pass changes

The Empire Village Council spent a wide ranging work session last week revisiting the Shalda Park master plan, debating enforcement changes for beach parking and golf carts, and reviewing multiple ordinances tied to water systems and sidewalks.

Much of the discussion centered on the planning process for Shalda Park, including how public input was gathered and incorporated into early design concepts.

The council agreed that they will be able to move forward with smaller projects such as gravel parking and the picnic pavilion after finalizing plans and getting price quotes at the next meeting. They will also take a final vote on whether to proceed with Option 1 or Option 2 for Shalda Park.
