Plans for a new public access on Michigans Eagle Lake in Cass County are moving forward despite a lawsuit filed by the Eagle Lake Improvement Association against the DNR and Ontwa Township.
A court hearing is planned for Monday morning at 10 a.m. in Cass County Circuit Court. Judge Susan Dobrich will preside.
The lake association opposes development of a DNR boating access site on Eagle Lake Road despite support the project received from the township and public last winter.
DNR Project Manager Paul Yauk said this week that the state is moving forward with engineering plans and has drawn closer to closing on its purchase of the property.
Were still confident the public will have an access site on Eagle and were moving this project along, he added.
