From the meeting
The Rock Island County Forest Preserve District was awarded $527,800 in Open Space Land Acquisition development grant funds for Niabi Zoo improvements. The money will install an outdoor splash pad, outdoor educational deck, and dinosaur dig area. The report says the dig area is meant to improve educational play, accessibility, durability, and the visitor experience.
This is a funded public-venue project, so follow-on work could include design, equipment, surfacing, and install support.
