Greenway Initiative

Centre County is prepared to develop its first Countywide Greenway & Recreation Plan. This plan is for Centre County municipalities and other entities to use as a guidance and implementation document and not a regulatory tool. The plan is intended to be complete by fall 2008. We welcome any comments your municipality may have and will incorporate your ideas and suggestions into our planning process.
