Proposed improvements at and around Northwest Missouri State's Colden Pond are endorsed by the Maryville city council.
Northwest assistant vice president of facility services Scott Kuhlemeyer told the city council Monday night (October 26) the proposal calls for seeking a state grant that would replace the iconic kissing bridge, renovate the pond and pier, expand leisure and social space, and add a boardwalk, gazebo, an outdoor learning environment, and a picnic station.
