Residents of Boston Heights, Hudson, Macedonia, Northfield Center invited to watershed workshop
By Bob Downing
Beacon Journal staff writer
Published on Tuesday, Jan 08, 2008
Residents from four communities in northern Summit County will consider balanced development and controlling flooding along Brandywine Creek in a watershed workshop on Jan. 19.
The program, to run from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., involves Boston Heights, Hudson, Macedonia and Northfield Center Township in addition to the Cuyahoga Valley National Park and the Cuyahoga River Remedial Action Plan.
The workshop is designed for local officials and residents and will be held at the Happy Days Visitor Center off state Route 303 in Boston Heights.
Participants will learn how Brandywine Creek functions, how urbanization affects storm water and how they can promote land-use planning and watershed stewardship.
They will take part in a planning process to identify and prioritize areas where future growth can best take place, areas that should be preserved and strategies that communities can adopt in order to avoid flooding and improve watershed function and water quality.
The goal is to begin a planning process that seeks balanced growth with watershed stewardship.
The four communities established the Brandywine Creek Watershed Planning Partnership to work together to manage storm water and improve water quality in the watershed.
The creek flows into the Cuyahoga River in the 33,000-acre federal park.
The workshop is being presented through the Cleveland-based Cuyahoga River RAP with grants from the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency and the George Gund Foundation in Cleveland.
The federal park, the Cuyahoga Valley National Park Association and the Cuyahoga Valley Regional Council of Governments are providing support.
Registration is free, but space is limited and advance registration is required. Contact Jane Goodman at 216-241-2414, Ext. 610, to register.
Additional workshops will be held for communities along Mud Brook on Feb. 16 and along Furnace Run on March 1.
