Resident urges council to support saving 990 acres north of Cumberland
Summary
Linda Stevens told the council she and others want to preserve roughly 990 acres north of Cumberland, including Lizard Mountain and White River access; she raised concerns about well impacts and noted county and state interest in acquisition.
Linda Stevens, a longtime outdoor-user of the White River area, asked the council to support conservation of about 990 acres north of Cumberland that include Lizard Mountain and public access to the White River. "We're talking about saving the, 990 acres just North of Cumberland where Lizard Mountain is," she said, describing trails and flat areas suitable for older visitors and expressing concern about wells and water resources if a large industrial project proceeds.
Stevens said county and state entities had indicated possible interest in acquiring the land and urged the council to support preservation efforts. Her remarks were part of the public-comment period; there was no immediate council motion or action recorded in response.
