The Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation is preparing a master plan for Machicomoco State Park, Hayes, and the neighboring Middle Peninsula unit in Gloucester, with a public information meeting to be held next week.
The meeting will be held from 6-8 p.m. next Thursday, Dec. 14 at the T.C. Walker Education Center Auditorium, 6099 T.C. Walker Road, Gloucester.
