Do the immediate community and the general public have any say in the planning process?
Absolutely. State Parks has already hosted a number of open houses and will conduct additional public forums as appropriate throughout the planning process. For those who wish to contact State Parks staff or the planning team outside of the public meetings, contact information and general information about the project can be found at www.stauntonpark.com. Furthermore, the project team has convened a Master Plan Advisory Council (MPAC) made up of a cross-section of local residential and business interests and individuals representing a more regional and statewide recreation/tourism perspective. This group is serving as a liaison with the immediate community and the general public and is a key part the stakeholder outreach process. MPAC members will continue to provide valuable feedback to the Staunton State Park Planning Team as it completes the planning process.
