Greenway Master Plan Committee Information
In the spring of 2018, the Board of Commissioners directed County staff to work with the Recreation Advisory Board (RAB) to develop a master greenway plan for the entire County. The Recreation Advisory Board appointed a subcommittee to spearhead the task. The sixteen members of the committee represented various community interests including, but not limited to, health and wellness, bicycle and pedestrian safety, cultural preservation, environmental protection, and included 5 members of the Recreation Advisory Board. This subcommittee successfully completed their goal of creating a plan and having it adopted by the County Commissioners.
Greenway Master Plan Vision:
“Create a safe, accessible, comprehensive and connected system of constructed greenway trails that enhances quality of life throughout Henderson County by providing opportunities for transportation, recreation, public health, economic development, and environmental stewardship.”
