Construction of six cabins at Lake Darling State Park will begin when the weather permits. President of Friends of Lake Darling, Fay Vittetoe, says during their meeting on Wednesday, they learned that a contractor had been selected. The lowest bid of around $1.1 million submitted by Garling Construction of Belle Plaine was selected for the project.

The two bedroom cabins will feature a full kitchen, bathroom, covered deck and will be handicap accessible. Construction could begin in the next 60 days.

Vittetoe says it’s possible the cabins will be ready to use by late fall.
