The Issue

We, the undersigned, urge [insert city/town/county name] officials and community leaders to take immediate action to reopen Lake Claire for public use.

Lake Claire has long been a valued space for recreation, community gathering, and outdoor wellness. Closing it has left many residents without access to a safe and welcoming environment for swimming, fishing, walking, and family activities.

Reopening Lake Claire would:

Restore an affordable, local recreational option for families and individuals.

Encourage healthy lifestyles through outdoor activity.

Strengthen community pride and connection.

Support local businesses that benefit from visitors to the lake.


We respectfully request that the necessary resources and planning be dedicated to reopening Lake Claire so our community can once again enjoy the benefits of this important public space.

The Decision Makers

Richard Strick
Huntington City Mayor
Responded
I do see the petition and am aware of the issue raised by some residents. Lake Clare is not located within the City of Huntington and is not under my jurisdiction. In conversations with both the current and previous Township Trustee, I understand their reasoning for not pursuing reopening. I defer to them and their more extensive familiarity with the matter. City residents that wish to address a swimming area within City limits are welcome to reach out to my office at any time to schedule a meeting with me. They can contact me at 260-356-1400 x 2001. Thank you, Richard Strick Mayor City of Huntington
