Crossroads of the American Revolution National Heritage Area – Management Plan and Workshops |
Next week, the Crossroads Association is holding a series of meetings throughout the state to discuss how the Crossroads of the American Revolution National Heritage Area will develop over the next 5-10 years. At the meetings, our management consultants will explain the current draft alternatives and ask for your input on what should be emphasized.Considering your stake in the Crossroads endeavor, we would be honored if you would take part in one of these meetings and help chart the Crossroads course. The federal statute that established our Heritage Area requires that a written management plan be approved by the U.S. Department of the Interior to guide Heritage Area priorities. The final plan will serve as a blueprint for future Heritage Area activities. This will have an impact on how the Heritage Area can serve the groups and organizations important to you. One focuses on how the ideals and ideas of the American Revolution can serve New Jersey today. A third concentrates on welcoming vistors by promoting heritage tourism. One emphasizes physical preservation and conservation of historic structures and landscapes. (currently being drafted) Still another highlights telling the story of New Jersey 's role in the American Revolution to raise consciousness among state residents.
