The lagoon was one of the key topics at Valley Grande City Council meeting on Monday night.

Valley Grande Mayor Matt Dobbs asked Boyd Pugh, Valley Grande Public Safety Director, to speak with Engineer Ray Hogg of Hogg-Stone Associates regarding the approval to move forward with the chlorine chamber at the lagoon.

Pugh said that Hogg is checking prices and hadn’t heard back from him. Pugh said he’s waiting to hear from Hogg before anything can be done.

Valley Grande Parks and Recreation Director Bubba Holley addressed the council on the status of the upcoming baseball and softball season at Valley Grande City Park.
