 Dear Neighbors and Visitors,
As many of you know, the National Service (NPS) is preparing a general management plan (GMP) for the Blue Ridge Parkway. The parkway will celebrate its 75 anniversary in 2010 and this GMP will provide a vision for the parkway's future and help guide our decision-making for the next 20 years. Through this posted newsletter, you have a great opportunity to learn the latest in our thinking and provide us your comments.
Applying the ideas and comments we have received thus far from the public, state and local agencies, and parkway staff, we have developed three preliminary alternative visions for the future of the Blue Ridge Parkway. Fifteen of the park's large recreation areas are addressed within these three alternatives. When you explore this newsletter, you will see that we have used many maps, particularly of the recreation areas, to give you a clearer idea of the similarities and differences among these alternatives.
I encourage you to become involved in the future of the Blue Ridge Parkway by providing us with your thoughts. You are welcome to comment by using the comment form, sending us a letter, or visiting this website. See the "How to Comment" section of this newsletter for details. Thank you for your continued interest and involvement with the Blue Ridge Parkway. We look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Philip A. Francis, Superintendent
