Open Space Plan

Many agencies and organizations have been working on these issues for years, but there is not a comprehensive strategy to address these pressures. The creation of an Open Space Plan will be a game-changer for our community. I believe it will expand options for both public and private land owners, which will lead to flood damage control, maintaining rural character, enhancing overall ecological integrity, preservation of history, and ultimately, higher quality of life.
