Chilli Bay Thriving Amid COVID-19

Chilli Bay Water Park opened for the season on Memorial Day and Chillicothe City Administrator Darin Chappell says since the opening they have been busy, but there has also been Criticism about opening a public facility amid concerns for COVID-19.  Chappell says plans to open continued even after the first announcements of the pandemic.

Chappell says despite COVID-19, they have been busy and doing well compared to an average year.
