MUNICIPAL CAPACITY TO ADDRESS TRAIL ISSUES

The municipality has the capacity to address various issues associated with the Trail because of the knowledge and interests of its elected officials, staff, or volunteer commissions and committees. It takes advantage of educational opportunities to stay up-to-date on “best practices” related to growth management, land use regulations and resource protection. As needed, it has access to professional expertise through its relationships with the county planning commission, consultants and nonprofit conservation organizations. It shares information with neighboring municipalities through which the Trail passes.
