The Hancock County Park District board is going to repave a parking lot this year. The group voted to spend more than $43,000 to upgrade the parking lot at Blanchard Landing. The money is coming from an ODOT grant that the park receives every year.

The board also plans to take a look at an area on Hancock County Road 9 between the Dold subdivision and Aurand Run. A shallow ditch proposed for that area could reduce high water during heavy rainstorms. The board took no action on the plan Tuesday.
