| The Pennsylvania Fish
and Boat Commission is inviting public participation in a meeting to discuss a planning study for renovations
and expansion at the Walnut Creek Marina in Erie County. The meeting, hosted by Urban Engineers, will be
held November 13 from 6-8 p.m. at the Tom Ridge Environmental Center at Presque Isle.
Representatives from
Urban Engineers of Erie and the Commission will be on hand to provide a project description, explain
the project goals and to gain comment from participants on the benefits and drawbacks of the existing
facilities. Participants will also be asked to provide comment on the future needs of the facility.
“The Walnut
Creek Marina is one of the most important public assets the Commission manages. Our goal is to provide a high level
of customer service to the many different users who visit the site. We want to consult with a variety of users from
marina slip-holders, boat owners who launch at the public ramp, shore-line anglers and area residents as we plan for
the future of Walnut Creek,” said
Fish and Boat Commissioner Sam Concilla of Northeast, whose district includes Erie, Butler, Clarion,
Crawford, Forest, Lawrence, Mercer, Venango and Warren counties.
The meeting is designed to allow participants to visit
presentation booths, engage in discussions, and to hear a brief presentation by engineers and others
involved in the project. For directions to the Tom Ridge Center, visit www.trecpi.org. |
