Participants emphasized the need to make informed decisions regarding the port side of the property, with a strong desire to incorporate a trail that would connect various features of the area, including historic quarries and the creek. The discussions underscored a collective commitment to preserving the unique characteristics of the region for future generations, with members acknowledging the contributions of community advocates like Lynn, who has been instrumental in championing the project.
Overall, the meeting highlighted a proactive approach to balancing development with conservation, aiming to create a space that celebrates the area's rich history and natural beauty.
