Mainspring of Ephrata is drafting a Master Site Plan for the 200-acre Ephrata Mt. Springs Recreational Preserve. As part of that process, Mainspring’s consultant, YSM, hosted a public open house on Thursday, May 21, 2026.
Community members were invited to stop by at any time during the event to look over materials and connect with the design team. YSM offered brief presentations throughout the session (attached for reference), and attendees had the opportunity to share their ideas, priorities, and concerns with YSM representatives available at tables around the room. This gathering is just one step in an 8–10 month planning process — community input will continue to be collected and will play an important role in shaping the final plan.
“We appreciate everyone who has engaged with this process so far,” said Joy Ashley, Executive Director of Mainspring of Ephrata. “Public input is an important part of how this plan comes together, and we welcome continued participation.”
