The Roosevelt and Vanderbilt historic sites have been operating for a long time, why do you need a plan now?
Long-range plans for these sites are more than 25 years old. In the last quarter century, there have been a multitude of changes at the sites and in the surrounding region. Staff and planners will look at the current situation and anticipate changes in the next two decades before recommending new management guidelines.
How will the public be involved in the planning?
Gathering public input is one of our priorities. We will open several lines of communications between the planners and the public. This website is a prime example. Click here to leave comments.
