Reclaiming this land to allow for roadway an rail use opens the door for future business opportunities for the park, which means more jobs to area residents. The project also will protect natural areas and fund outreach efforts to local areas within the watershed on the history of drinking water and the impact of acid mine drainage. A community must place its environmental well-being at the top of its priority list. I am very pleased to see funding come the area that will allow for just that. The signs are intended to educate residents about watersheds and sources of pollutants, as well as suggest actions residents can take to improve the health of their watersheds.
Proactive residents are crucial in securing a community's environmental success.
