Visits between interest groups should be organized to educate them on innovative projects. Consider providing county staff to assist municipalities with planning and recreation. It is important that compatible land and river use is promoted within the region. A list of all priority goals for River clean-up should be compiled. The development approval process should be streamlined for projects on the River.
Public awareness is essential for the overall success for any community project.
The community, as a whole, must enjoy their sense of place, recognize accomplishments as their own and have a clear vision for the future. This can only be achieved if citizens understand, appreciate and use the River. The citizens should be educated about the function and value of land along the River. Brochures could be produced that highlight the enormous potential of the area and the opportunities for everyone to get involved. Develop walking and biking trails that link the natural and built environments.
