Despite a surprise November snowstorm, over 40 people turned out for a public meeting at Luzerne County Community College to discuss findings from EC’s study for an off-highway vehicle (OHV) recreation area in Newport Township. Attendees had a chance to speak with representatives from EC, LAIRD, WAR Landscape Architecture, and the Institute; and to review and comment on the final draft. There was general consensus as to the area’s suitability for OHV riding; the value of all the outdoor recreation resources in the area; and the positive economic impact a facility could generate. Unsettled, however, was who would move the project forward. The study was funded by a PADCNR All-Terrain Vehicle grant under its Community Conservation Partnerships Program.
