Resolution of Support for the Millstone Valley Scenic Byway Corridor Management Plan

Date: October 8, 2008

The Board of Directors of the Meadows Foundation urges adoption of the Millstone Valley Scenic Byway Corridor Management Plan to preserve and enhance Central New Jersey’s heritage, history and open space.

The Meadows Foundation will benefit from this consolidation since three of the historic properties under its stewardship, namely the Hageman House and Barns, Wyckoff-Garretson House, and the van Liew Suydam House fall within the Millstone Valley Scenic and Historic Corridor.

The Millstone Valley Scenic Byway Corridor has already been officially recognized by the New Jersey State Scenic Byway Program.

The Corridor Management Plan is needed to support National designation of the Byway, which would make Federal Highway Administration National Scenic Byway Program funds available for implementing the Plan’s recommendations.

Sincerely:
John Mullen
President of the Meadows Foundation
