  Tompkins County Identifying Best Scenic Views

  Between now and the end of July, residents of Tompkins County have an 
opportunity to nominate their favorite views to be included in a listing
of the  County&rsquo;s best scenic resources.

  The Tompkins County Planning Department is leading an effort to identify
 the 100 most significant views in Tompkins County. During Fall 2005 and
 Spring 2006, most of the roads, the most heavily used trails, and
Cayuga  Lake were surveyed and over 500 scenic resources were
catalogued. A map  of the results, along with photographs, can be seen
on the Tompkins County  Scenic Resources website.

  The rules for nominating a view are simple: it must be a view from a
publicly  accessible location and it must be submitted by July 31. Just
let the Planning  Department know where the view is and provide a brief
description of the  view.

  So, whether you admire waterfalls, prefer lake views, or favor
panoramas,  visit the Planning Department&rsquo;s website at
www.tompkins-co.org/planning by  July 31 and follow the links for the
Scenic Resources Inventory.
  For further information contact the Planning Department at 
planning at tompkins-co.org or 274-5560.
