Foundation, Corps To Finalize Agreement

Friday, April 26, 2013

ROGERS — The Beaver Lake Foundation will officially be up and running following a ceremony at 4 p.m. Tuesday with foundation organizers and the Army Corps of Engineers at Prairie Creek park.

An agreement between the foundation and corps will be signed at the event by corps officials from the Little Rock District and Kerry Jensen, foundation president. The public is welcome.

The Beaver Lake Foundation has been in the formation stage for more than a year. Its mission is to assist the corps financially and with manpower to provide amenities at Beaver Lake the corps cannot provide, Jensen said.

Projects planned by the nonprofit foundation include educational programs at corps parks, a life-jacket loaner plan and tours of the Beaver Lake dam.
