o Comply with local, county, state and federal requirements
o Minimize impacts and improve conservation of natural and cultural resources
o Reduce conflicts between recreational, community and environmental stakeholders
o Better meet the needs and desires of OHV and other recreation stakeholders
o Improve risk management and reduce liability concerns
Expand partnership development between local, county, state and federal governments, land managers, adjoining private property owners, OHV and other recreational stakeholders, and education entities
 
Increase tourism and promote local and regional economic development
 
Provide education opportunities for the culture and heritage of the region and the local area

Rick_Bear:
I made it home sometime around 12:15 am.
Quite the hostile local crowd in attendance voicing their opposition...
I did speak personally to about 25 locals in support of the project.

The locals utilizing the property for the past 30 years have a misconception of who owns the land, they feel it's theirs since they live there.
Well, we all know that is incorrect and IMO there is a lot of work ahead for this one to fly as planned.
