Boat Ramp Closing For Construction: The City of Lake Ozark announces the temporary closure of the public boat launch located on Bluebird Drive to allow for demolition and reconstruction of the boat ramp. The closure will be in effect from January 12, 2026, through February 16, 2026, weather permitting. Hardrives Excavation LLC will perform the reconstruction work during this period. The ramp area will reopen to the public once all work has been completed and safety inspections are finalized. The upgraded boat ramp will feature significant improvements designed to better serve the boating community. The new ramp will be four feet wider and 13 feet longer than the current facility, providing enhanced access and maneuverability for boaters. Additionally, the concrete slab will be constructed with increased thickness to ensure greater durability and extend the lifespan of the ramp well beyond that of the current structure. "We appreciate all of the work everyone has done to help these upgrades come to fruition," said Mayor David Ridgely. "Our hope is that the new public boat ramp will be a great community asset for years to come." Winter weather conditions may affect the construction schedule. The City will provide updates on the project timeline as needed. Boaters are encouraged to plan accordingly and seek alternative launch facilities during the closure period. For questions regarding the project or alternative boat launch locations, please contact Matt Michalik, Public Works Director, at (573) 365-5378 or pwd@cityoflakeozark.net.

Site plan for ALDI approved for Eagles’ Landing

On the heels of Casey’s coming to Eagles’ Landing in Lake Ozark, it appears the prospects of an ALDI grocery store is back on the agenda for the popular shopping district.

The Lake Ozark Planning & Zoning Commission approved a site plan for a store to be located on Bus. 54 northeast of the proposed area for Casey’s. The store would be located on Bus. 54 and Krestel Lane.

The site plan for this location was originally approved by the P&Z on Sept. 5, 2018. Revisions to the original plan were resubmitted to meet city requirements, and the P&Z signed off to allow the project to proceed. A spokesman for ALDI said they hope to begin construction documents and “move full speed” on the design and permitting processes.

The store and adjacent parking would cover about 19,200 square feet with the actual store about 12,700 square feet with about 109 parking spaces. The ALDI store would have two entrances to provide easy access from Bus. 54 or Krestel Lane.  

ALDI also has stores in Lebanon, Jefferson City and Columbia among the 110 stores in Missouri.
