| Post subject: | Letter from Northumberland county Commisioners |
A Letter from the Northumberland county Commissioners Office to the Northumberland County Planning Director, Patrick Mack. I recently received the following email from the Commissioners Office regarding the OHV Park. I think its noted that all 3 Commissioners urged me to publish this letter. ------------------------------ Pat The intent of this program is to bring fresh, new money into Northumberland County on a regular basis. We need to provide some measurable economics to an area that has very limited employment. This OHV Park is a method to assist in economic development for an area that is economically disadvantaged due to poor road networks through major cities; disadvantaged by two lane roads leading to Interstate 80 and 81; and disadvantaged due to major mountain chains and very limited flat land that is not undermined. The OHV Park addresses the weaknesses of our area such as hilly terrain and rocks, and makes that weakness an economic strength because of the desire of OHV enthusiasts to “play” in that terrain. The overall regional scheme will address existing state game lands that abut County land, and existing State Parks and existing State Forests. However we need to make disadvantaged areas economically viable. We need to stem the slide of this region’s persistent drift into poverty! For a successful project we need to have personnel who are dedicated to improving our economy. My thoughts are to make this project what it is, an economic engine to provide jobs.

I sent Pat Mack a link to the 4WD Economic Survey done by NOVA members back when they belonged to another Association. Since it shows millions of dollars being spent, much of it in the wheeling locations, he was appreciative, excited even. BTW, this is an unusual situation, in that the county gov't really wants to build this park  Whenever they ask for support please give it to them. http://www.ohv.norrycopa.net |
