The Susquehanna Greenway Strategic Action Plan, Susquehanna River, Pennsylvania

Award > 2006 Pennsylvania and Delaware Chapters of the American Society of Landscape Architects, Honor Award

Project Description > Greenways Incorporated teamed with EDAW to prepare an Action Plan for the Susquehanna River Greenway. The project extends more than 500 miles from the New York border to the Maryland border, and extends through 22 Pennsylvania counties, nearly one-third of the Commonwealth. Greenways Incorporated, as the lead firm, was responsible for preparing an implementation program for the Greenway project. To accomplish this, we worked closely with a client team that was made up of local, state and federal agencies. We conducted public forums and workshops along the river corridor, We also completed an end-to-end field survey of the current project conditions. The strategic action plan focused on an overall vision, goals and objectives for the project, recommended an organizational framework for implementing the project, proposed marketing strategies to define the brand for the Greenway, and provided a step-by-step guide to key actions to be taken in the short term.
