[Winona Online Democracy] Hello Everyone,
Here is the second event in the Winona Area Local Land Planning Series. It is an event that Pam Eyden, Mark Moeller, and myself have helped pull together. Please consider coming if you can and helping spread the word to others who might be interested. Thank you, Dwayne June 13, 2005 ------ PRESS RELEASE ------ LARRY KIRCH TO SPEAK ON BLUFFLAND PROTECTION: LA CROSSE'S STRATEGY ------ People who live in Winona, in the county, townships and city, prize the area's bluffs, hillsides, valleys and trout streams. Surveys show that protecting these natural resources is a top priority. But how do we protect them? Many tools and strategies are available. On Tuesday evening, June 21, at 7 p.m., Larry Kirch, Director of Planning for the City of La Crosse, will present a talk about that city's successful bluff land protection program. The meeting will be held in the Winona City Council chambers, at City Hall. In 2001, the City of La Crosse began working with the Mississippi Valley Conservancy to acquire and/or establish easements on the city's scenic bluffs and hillsides. With support from land owners and citizens, the City has so far managed to protect more than 800 acres adjacent to Hixon Forest. Mr. Kirch will talk about how the program began, how it is funded and how it works in La Crosse. Bring your questions, suggestions and ideas. This talk is the second in the Local Land Use Planning Series that was initiated this winter by a group made of people from the city, county, townships, the Chamber of Commerce and individuals. It is jointly hosted by the Winona City Planning Commission and the Environmental Quality Committee.
