Orange County Supervisor J. Bryan Nicol will speak to the LOW Democratic Club on March 13 about issues facing Lake of the Woods as a result of the proposed Wilderness Crossing development on Route 3, which is expected to include data centers as well as other commercial and residential enterprises.
The club’s meeting will take place in Classroom 2 of the LOW Community Center. A gathering period will begin at 1 p.m. and the program will commence at 1:30 p.m. All are welcome to attend, regardless of political affiliation.
Nicol, who has represented District 5, which includes Lake of the Woods, since 2023, has been an outspoken critic of the Wilderness Crossing project, saying it poses significant water and utility, traffic, noise and other issues that would affect the community.
Nicol is a former deputy attorney general of the State of Indiana and served as commissioner and deputy commissioner of the Indiana Department of Transportation. He is currently chief strategy officer for an architecture, engineering and consulting firm. He and his family have lived in Lake of the Woods for 15 years.
The LOW Democratic Club regularly meets at the community center at 1 p.m. on the second Thursday of each month as well as on social hours at 5 p.m. at the LOW Clubhouse four times a year. The next social hour will be Thursday, March 27.
