RiverWay South Public Forums
The forums are open but not limited to anyone living and/or interested in the ACF watershed. We especially encourage all stakeholders to participate... city and state government officials, educators, journalists, artists, musicians, environmentalists, historians, preservationists, economic developers, tourism agencies, writers, etc. During these 2 hour forums we plan to:
These public forums take place in a number of separate watershed communities with 3 or more counties participating together as a group. Some include participation across state borders. If for some reason you cannot attend a meeting within your own county or region, you are welcome to attend any other forum or forums. The forums become the vehicle to identify resources throughout the watershed with a common purpose to provide a management plan for the future RiverWay South Heritage Trail. We begin to connect the available resources on the ground and on the water. The ultimate goal is to preserve, protect and promote activities which sustain the Apalachicola, Middle Chattahoochee, and Flint watershed along with sound economic growth for generations beyond our lifetimes. Additionally, other RiverWay South Goals are accomplished along the way...river cruises, canoe trips, kayak tours, rafting, day trips on the river, as well as educational cruises. The river trips provide the grist for future sustainable economic growth. They are vital if we are to link the watershed communities back to the river.RiverWay South Public Forums begin May 29th in Meriwether County at the Warm Springs Community Building on Hwy 27/41 at 2:00 EST. Call 706.884.8950 for more detailed directions. For times, places, and participating counties, see chart below.
RiverWay South is a non-profit organization whose mission is to protect, preserve, and promote the Apalachicola, Chattahoochee, and Flint River System... (The ACF). It is funded through a USDA RBOG (United States Department of Agriculture Rural Business Opportunity Grant).
