City approves acquisition of ‘lagoon’ property on Steel Lake
February 21, 2025
Melissa Hamilton is another community member who lives on Steel Lake and is on the Steel Lake Management District Advisory Committee.
Hamilton is familiar with Reyhner’s advocacy: “The first neighbor I met when I moved to Steel Lake was Margaret Reyhner, and she wasn’t just stopping by to say hello. She wanted to talk about protecting the lake. A piece of land along a critical shoreline was up for large-scale development, and she was really concerned about how it would impact the turtles, herons, and other wildlife that depended on it.”
Hamilton told the Mirror that “after meeting Margaret, it was clear to me that this wasn’t just a neighborhood — it was a community that truly cared about the health of the lake and its natural spaces.”
