ODNR Watercraft Seeking Public Input for Strategic Plan Update

The Division of Watercraft is seeking public comment for the revision of its "Strategic Plan for Ohio Boating." Ten meetings across the state are scheduled so that Ohio boaters can voice their concerns.

Each meeting will consist of a brief history of the development of Watercraft's Strategic Plan, audience polling, and an open forum for attendees to provide comments.

Anyone interested in the future of boating in Ohio is encouraged to attend an area meeting. You can also send us your comments in writing or via email.

The 2004 plan, "A Strategic Plan for Ohio Boating," is available here [PDF; 1.2 Meg].

For more information contact the Division of Watercraft at (614) 265-6500.
