The Operations Project Manager for the Corps of Engineers at Milford Lake, RJ Harms, has announced that he is transferring to the Operations Project Manager position at Perry Lake, effective June 13.

Harms has served at Milford Lake for the past 10 years. He said that he and his wife Pam, planned to relocate back to the Topeka area after their son graduated from high school whenever the opportunity arose, and everything came together late this spring.

Harms added he decided in mid-May to accept the transfer. He thanked everyone associated with Milford Lake as a business owner, park manager, leasehold operator, elected officials and others he worked with over the past 10 years.

Harms noted there have been challenges with high water events and blue green algae impacts, but they have also achieved some significant accomplishments, and the investment and commitment to providing enjoyable recreation opportunities is clearly evident and ongoing.
