Public Input Requested

Public input is requested for what you’d like to see as the ideal level of development and public use of the land in Van Buren County called North Point. Public input is important to show support for preserving the property and keeping it open to the public.

A recent overwhelming grassroots effort erupted to save the 17 acre county owned property on the Lake Michigan shores. Now is the time to decide how to preserve it. Do you want the delicate ecosystem to be kept in its present state as a conservation area with public access or do you think the spot needs a more developed park setting with pavilion, picnic tables, restrooms, boardwalk and ramp to the top of the dune for overlook be made? Let your voice be heard. Your opinions counts.

Check out the web site to see the plans and then let them know your response. Website is at www.vbco.org/northpoint.asp and response can be directed ot Marcy Colclough at marcydolphin@yahoo.com or to Maureen Lewandowski at molew@comcast.net or call Marcy at 269-288-3767. Your opinion will help commissioners decide at their public meeting scheduled for Tuesday, February 26 at the County Administration Building in Paw Paw at 5:30pm.
