PhotographyPhoto stories -- they could be submitted or by the Jordan Independent staff Jordan in Photos: Mill Pond reopensMay 15, 2008 - 3:39pm — Mathias BadenThe Mill Pond officially reopened to the public after an $838,000 restoration project that included draining the recreational lake in Jordan's Lagoon Park. Jordan Mayor Ron Jabs spoke about a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Wednesday, May 7. Here's some of what he said: - Lagoon Park was originally dedicated to the city in 1929 by the flour company International Milling. - The flood of 1960 deposited sediment in the Mill Pond that was many feet deep. There’s a fire in Sand Creek Township, and John Badin handles its remote control. A training officer for the Savage Fire Department, Badin is one of the area firefighters who during the first week of its operation learned how to use the Scott County Association for Leadership and Efficiency regional public safety training facility’s burn tower.
