The Beaver County Commissioners, in conjunction with the county's Department of Recreation and Tourism, are inviting local citizens to offer input and share their ideas for future improvements in recreation and the use of county parks and open space.
advertisment "Our county parks are a natural resource that many citizens already utilize. Those who value our parks are in the best position to offer suggestions on improvements that will enhance recreational experiences in the future," said Tony Amadio, chairman of the Beaver County Commissioners.
Beaver County residents are welcome to participate in one or more of four public input sessions which will be held throughout August. Evening sessions will take place in Ambridge, Beaver, Beaver Falls and Monaca.
"Local residents often ask me how county government plans to use open space or about safe routes on which to walk or bike. Suggestions on all of these issues and more will be welcome at the public meetings in August," said Commissioner Joe Spanik. "The four community-based meetings are part of the county's comprehensive recreation, parks and open space."
The planning will be led by a county-appointed steering committee. Residents will help identify priority recreation issues which will serve as a foundation for a long-term plan to achieve the goals they have identified.
"I encourage all our residents to attend our public meetings and offer ideas, concerns and suggestions on recreation and better use of our parks and open spaces. As county government moves forward to implement new ideas, we must do so in a responsible fashion with citizen input so we continue to be good stewards of taxpayer dollars," Commissioner Dennis Nichols said.
For additional input, a digital questionnaire is available at www.beavercountypa .gov by clicking the "Recreation Survey" link on the homepage. Additionally, the project's blog can receive input and keep citizens up to date at http://beavercountyrecreation.blog spot.com.
