Proponents of converting the former Elks Lake and adjoining Lehigh Portland Trails system into a new state park will be in Topeka Thursday to speak to Kansas lawmakers.
The House Committee on Agriculture and Natural Resources has scheduled a 3:30 p.m. hearing to discuss the particulars of creating what would be called the Lehigh Portland State Park.
The measure must first be approved by the Legislature and then signed into law by Gov. Laura Kelly.
