Achieving National
Recognition and Sustainability

     In 1998 a National Park Service feasibility study
 recognized the national significance of this region
 and suggested the pursuit of a National Heritage  
 designation.
     The development of this bi-state region as a nation-
 al Heritage Area supports a common commitment seeks to
 preserve our natural and cultural heritage in ways that
 meet the economic needs of the present generation while
 preserving these unique resources for the future.
