Byway group will reflect local government concerns

By DAVID HULSE

NARROWSBURG, NY — The local planners assembling the mechanics to administer the new Upper Delaware Scenic Byway are going to be conservative in deciding who will run the operation and what its goals will be.

The panel approved a draft set of bylaws at their January 27 meeting.

The board is going to invite non-voting members from the public and local organizations to participate, but byway management concerns will be those of local governments involved, members decided Monday.

Tusten delegate Elaine Giguere of the Delaware Valley Arts Alliance had suggested that more not-for-profit organizational-minded people be involved. Giguere argued that the byway is a not-for-profit, without staff or long-term funding and that a not-for-profit board of directors’ main function is fundraising. Other people, outside government, probably would be more comfortable doing that, she said.
