A groundbreaking ceremony to officially kickoff the start of construction at Lake White in Pike County is scheduled for 11 a.m. on September 15. Leading the ceremony are ODNR Director James Zehringer and ODOT Director Jerry Wray.

We are happy to work with residents on the removal of their docks so that we can get construction started as soon as possible, but we are not comfortable with liability should damage occur during the removal process. For those residents who want to ensure the condition of their dock, they may wish to hire a contractor to remove their structure properly. We are currently pursuing bids to better understand the cost of removing the docks and we are exploring all options to minimize or eliminate the potential costs to residents. We should know soon.
