In his State of the Union address, President Clinton said he would designate 10 waterways as <br />American Heritage Rivers. The St. Johns River deserves this designation. This is a non -regulatory program <br />that will streamline federal assistance and reduce obstacles to community action. That's why I am writing to <br />you. <br />The St. Johns River Water Management District is seeking input from community leaders like you in <br />developing our nomination package. We need to demonstrate broad community support, identify the resource <br />qualities and local partnerships already in place, and outline the strategies that will lead to action along the <br />river. This is a great opportunity to look at how we can come together as river communities to address <br />environmental, economic, scenic, historic, cultural and recreational qualities that can be promoted and <br />enhanced to their fullest. To do this, we have scheduled a short, facilitated meeting on Monday. June 30 from <br />7- 9 p.m. at the Palm Bay Community Center located at 1502 Port Malabar Blvd. <br />—.._ ,. <br />At the meeting we will: <br />• Present a quick overview of the American Heritage Rivers Initiative <br />• Identify existing community resources and partnerships focused on the river (natural, economic, scenic, <br />historic, cultural and recreational) <br />• Develop a vision of what the community would like to see happen related to the river <br />• Discuss local support needed for the application process. <br />Thank you for your support. We look forward to seeing you at the Palm Bay Community Center on June 30. <br />If you have any questions, please call Mike Miller at (407) 676-6606 or Jeff Cole at (407) 676-6612r <br />Kindest personal regards. <br />S'ncerel , <br />Henry Dean <br />Executive Director <br />w P )i -f_ S "pp,- I - <br />William M.
