TRUMAN LAKE, Mo. — The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has begun the process of revising the Harry S Truman Dam & Reservoir Master Plan, which was last updated in October 1988. The revision would bring the Master Plan up to date with current policy and regulations, land usage or designations, as well as consider current and projected visitation and recreational trends.
The Master Plan is the strategic land use management document that guides the comprehensive management and development of all project recreational, natural, and cultural resources throughout the life of the project. The Master Plan guides efficient and cost-effective management, development, and use of project lands. It is a vital tool for the responsible stewardship and sustainability of project resources for the benefit of present and future generations.
The Corps will be holding three public meetings to discuss the master plan revision process and seek input from the public concerning land classifications around the lake. These Meetings will take place at the following dates, times, and locations:
May 5, 2022, 6:00 P.M. Harry S. Truman Visitor Center, 29027 Visitor Center Rd, Warsaw, MO
May 23, 2022, 6:00 P.M., Osceola High School, 76 SE Hwy WW, Osceola, MO
May 24, 2022, 6:00 P.M., Benson Convention Center, 1008 E Sedalia Ave., Clinton, MO
