Specific deliverables for this grant project will include: Copies of comprehensive resource and land use maps for the towns and project area. Copies of proposed land use and lake protection recommendations. A Final Report in booklet or poster format, incorporating the land use plan and process along with associated colored resource maps and a land and water use development guide. The Department of Natural Resources will be provided with both a paper copy and an electronic copy of the final report. The project results will be disseminated to the public by newsletter(s), public meeting(s), and local newspaper articles.
