Master Plan
Public Input Meeting

Time: 7:00

The
community is invited to attend an upcoming meeting to provide input on a master
site plan for the Susquehanna Heritage Park.
The goal of
the master site plan is to determine the best use for the county-owned Heritage
Parks including the Highpoint Scenic Vista & Recreation Area and Native
Lands County Park. The study will include a look at whether, and how, the parkland
can/should function in conjunction with several other features of the area.
The other properties
include:
- The Zimmerman Center for Heritage, owned by the
Susquehanna Gateway Heritage Area
- Klines Run Park, owned by the
Safe Harbor Water Power Corporation
- Wilton Meadows Nature Preserve,
owned by the Lancaster County Conservancy
“The
goal of this meeting is to open a dialogue about the future of this county
parkland,” said Tammy Klunk, director of the York County Department of Parks
& Recreation. “It’s important these decisions are driven by public
involvement and input.”
The
meeting will include an introduction and review of the planning process, a
discussion of consultant observations and an opportunity for attendees to share
thoughts and ideas on the future of the park.
There
are no immediate plans to make any changes or improvements to the park. The
goal is to develop a framework for making such decisions.
This project is being funded in part with a grant from the PA Department of Conservation and Natural Resources. Pashek
Associates, Landscape Architects and Community Planners, of Pittsburgh are
leading the master planning process, in conjunction with team members from
AlbertinVernon Architecture, Loganton, PA, and Battaglia Jones Landscape
Architects, Bellefonte, PA.
Please join us on June 19th to share your thoughts, ideas, and vision for the future of the Susquehanna Heritage Park.
