A Deeper Look Into the Life of Greg Hasty:
Greg’s family was involved in the founding of The United State of America. His 6th Great Grandfather was “present at the siege of Little York in the taking of Lord Cornwallis”. Greg’s family moved West after the American Revolution and settled in the lake area in the 1820’s. His grandmother was born near Old Sagrada, in Camden County in 1906. Greg attended grade school in Richland, Missouri, and graduated from high school in Eldon, Missouri. He decided on a career in surveying before graduating high school and completed a two-year program for Surveying and Civil Engineering in 1974.
Greg began his career in surveying at Dale Miller Surveying in Osage Beach in 1974 and became a licensed Professional Surveyor in 1983. He opened his own surveying business in Sunrise Beach in 1983. During the mid 80’s Greg was President of the Lake of the Ozarks West Chamber of Commerce. Greg was involved in the Bridge 54 and 5 campaign, which resulted in state legislation to allow the Lake of the Ozarks Community Bridge to be built.
From the early 1990’s forward, Greg, was involved in land planning, construction management, and land development for many investors at the Lake of the Ozarks. He became a licensed Real Estate Broker in the mid-1990’s, to handle land acquisition, development, and sales of waterfront lots on the Lake of the Ozarks for a lake developer. Since the mid-1990’s his survey office has been on the square in Camdenton. Greg has served on the planning and zoning board in Camdenton, for over 10 years.
In 2006, Greg led the fight against the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), regarding the proposed Impact Minimization Zones (IMZ’s) proposed on the Lake of the Ozarks. The IMZ’s would have had a devastating effect on the value of waterfront owners lands. This was a fight the lake area residents won, preserving individual property rights, as well as the value of their lake investment.
In 2011 - 2012, Greg stepped up for Camden County citizens again, when a FERC Order directed the destruction of hundreds of homes on the Lake of the Ozarks. On November 16, 2011, the Lake Sun Leader, published Greg Hasty’s 3 point plan as a proposed solution to the problem. Greg’s plan included the lowering of the Project Boundary and execution of Quit Claim Deeds. Many of the items in Greg’s proposed plan were ultimately adopted as a part of the final settlement.
Without question, if not for Greg Hasty’s knowledge of the history of the Lake of the Ozarks, and the deed records, the outcome of these two land issues would have been entirely different.
