NOTICE OF PUBLIC MEETING -- The Shell Knob Special Road District has entered an agreement with the Southwest Missouri Council of Governments to develop a local natural hazard plan. The project will create an addendum to the Barry County Multi-Jurisdictional Natural Hazard Mitigation for the Shell Knob Special Road District. The addendum will allow the Shell Knob Special Road District to be a recognized participating jurisdiction in the plan; thereby, making the jurisdiction eligible for FEMA hazard mitigation grants funding.

The Shell Knob Road District will hold a public meeting Thursday, March 1st at 3:00 p.m. in the Central Crossing Fire District Station located at 23463 State Highway 39 in Shell Knob. The public is invited to attend and comment on the plan addendum.

“Each year, quite a bit of effort goes into this, our main promotional publication. For 2012 not only are all-new photos included from local residents and our many visitors , we have several new articles. The fishing article was rewritten by our fishing report author Tony Noland. Long-time Shell Knob resident, Jessie Johnson, contributed her considerable writing talents in the new ‘Welcome’ article as well as the ‘Fall in Love With Shell Knob in Any Season!’ section. Other writing contributions include a section entitled “Wild Shell Knob” written by Nancy Rochovansky, a local naturalist and business owner,” said Sheila House, executive director.

Thousands of the 2012 Guides will be distributed at boat, sport and travel shows in Kansas City, St. Louis and Wichita over the next two months. The brochure is also available at Missouri Tourism Centers, many local businesses and other locations. Much of the Guide’s distribution comes via requests from shellknob.com which receives heavy daily traffic as a result of the Chamber’s aggressive internet marketing efforts.
