Virginia recreation planners seek public input
21 meetings scheduled statewide Oct. 3 - Nov. 3
RICHMOND ? In the month between Oct. 3 and Nov. 3, the Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) will conduct public meetings to develop the Virginia Outdoors Plan. Regional meetings across the Commonwealth will allow citizens to provide input for the 2007 Virginia Outdoors Plan.
The Virginia Outdoors Plan is a comprehensive plan for meeting the outdoor recreation, land conservation and open space needs of the Commonwealth. It serves as a guidance document to local governments and state and federal agencies. The last plan was developed in 2002.
At 21 meetings across the state, DCR staff will inform citizens about the planning process and welcome public input on outdoor recreation and land conservation issues. DCR recreation planners will use this information to develop a plan that reflects public demand and preferences.
See the accompanying list for the date and location of the meeting nearest you. Meetings will be held at 3 p.m. and 7 p.m. on each date and in each location.
DCR is also accepting written comments on the 2007 Virginia Outdoors Plan via e-mail at vop@dcr.virginia.gov and by post at VOP Comments, Virginia Dept. of Conservation and Recreation, 203 Governor Street, Suite 326, Richmond, VA 23219.
