Open  House and Website to Select Top Scenic Views in Tompkins  County

Do you have a  favorite view that you’d like to see recognized on a list of 
Distinctive and  Noteworthy Views of Tompkins County?  Do you tend to catch 
your breath and  say “Wow” when you see certain local views?  Community members 
will have an  opportunity to vote for the best scenic views in Tompkins County 
at an Open  House on Wednesday, September 27 from 3:00 to 7:00 PM at the Women
’s Community  Building, 100 W. Seneca Street.  

Tompkins County is  preparing an inventory of important scenic resources 
throughout the  County.  On Wednesday, the public is invited to cast ballots for 
their  favorite views among over 100 candidate views.  At the Open House, the  
public will have the opportunity to learn about the project in a leisurely and 
 unhurried setting, reviewing photos and maps showing the candidate views.  
Results of the voting will provide critical input on which views are the most  
highly valued by the community.   

Until October 2,  community members may also review the photos and maps and 
cast their ballots  on-line at _www.tompkins-  
co.org/planning/ScenicResources.htm_ (http://www.planning.tompkins-co.org/scenicresources)  

The results of the  voting will be presented at a public meeting later this 
fall. For further  information contact the Planning Department at 274-5560 or  
planning at tompkins-co.org.
