Summary

Speakers said the county has acquired property and will begin master planning with community outreach; map updates will be prepared for January review and public input sessions are expected as part of long-term planning for walking and ATV trails.

Participants reported that the county has acquired a property that will undergo a master-plan process, including public outreach and an assessment of existing uses. Speaker 1 and Speaker 2 said the acquisition is a long-term project and not immediate ground-breaking but will include community input on walking trails and potential ATV routing.

Speaker 2 said map updates are in progress using new software and that a revised map should be available for review in January. "My goal is to have the map updates done actually for your review in January," Speaker 2 said, noting heavy permit-sales season typically resumes in March and that timing affects outreach and marketing.

Speakers said public-input sessions will be scheduled as the master plan advances and that Speaker 5 will maintain a Lewis County web page and Facebook updates to share information as it becomes available. The group emphasized that the master plan is an early-stage, multi-year process rather than immediate construction.
