“The meeting with the board of commissioners is another opportunity for citizens to take part in the planning process and make sure their voice is heard,” said Travis Stombaugh, the district’s Executive Director. “Public input is essential in developing a plan that is a roadmap for providing high-quality, community-driven parks, trails, open space and recreation facilities throughout the upper Valley over the next 10 to 20 years.”

The updated plan will include a review of current conditions and recommend specific capital projects based on goals and priorities. Final review and adoption of the plan is tentatively scheduled for early 2017.
