May 12, 1987 – Jefferson County Open Space Ad Hoc Committee Report

The Jefferson County Open Space Program is developing and growing from a beginning that was modest but held great promise. The Open Space Ad Hoc Committee, representing many diverse interests, reached unanimous agreement that the County’s Open Space Program in general is an excellent program which is striving to meet the County’s Open Space needs. Although the program has weaknesses and growing pains, the Committee believes that the overall strengths of the program outweigh its weaknesses, and that our recommendations, if adopted and implemented, will provide solutions to the present problems and guidance for a mature continuing program within the constraints of the present Open Space Resolution.
