DAMASCUS, PA — Some 82 concerned citizens, business leaders, municipal officials and environmental stewards came to the Damascus Community Center on September 29 to learn about the Visioning the Upper Delaware initiative and express concerns about documented population growth and development in Wayne, Pike, Sullivan and Orange counties.

Following a potluck supper and presentation, Laurie Stuart, right, publisher of The River Reporter, monitored a group discussion where audience members outlined 10 ideas to encourage community involvement in regional thinking.

The next evening meeting will be held on Thursday, October 9 at 6:00 p.m. at the Berlin Township Community Center. For more information call 845/252-7414.
