Cumberland County presenting draft Land Partnerships Plan

LandPartnerships is a countywide strategy designed to improve and enhance the quality of life in Cumberland County through: farmland preservation, natural resource protection and parks, trails and greenways.  These plans are important policy statements at the County and local level that reinforce efforts that preserve and enhance significant landscapes such as the Kittatinny Ridge and Corridor.

In April 2012, the Cumberland County Planning Department embarked on an 8-10 month effort to update the Plan in order to develop new recommendations for the next 5 years. The planning process includes a variety of opportunities for the public to provide input including a citizen survey and public meetings.  Two upcoming public meetings are planned to review and receive input on the draft Land Partnerships Plan.

Found it! Cumberland Valley Visitors Bureau's new web site features Kittatinny

Cumberland Valley Visitors Bureau's new web site just launched at www.visitcumberlandvalley.com and outdoor recreation, including many outdoor opportunities along the Kittatinny Ridge, is a main theme for promoting the area as a prime place to live, visit or relocate your business.  Check it out!   

Special sections of the site encourage visitors and residents to experience the Appalachian Trail, go birding or visit the area's many parks and wildlife areas.  The draw of the Cumberland Valley's many natural, scenic, historic and recreational assets is a prime example of the economic benefit of preserving these important resources that contribute to sense of place.  Kudos to CVVB on their new user-friendly web site (with awesome photos)!
