Lamont McClure and the Department of Parks & Recreation announce that the County of Northampton is seeking public comment on the draft of the Minsi Lake Corridor Greenway and Stewardship Plan. The consultant team of Simone Collins Landscape Architecture and Resource Environmental Solutions (RES) has completed the draft which addresses the compatibility of outdoor recreation with the conservation of environmentally sensitive lands.
