What are the potential benefits of the concept?

The proposal aims to:

• Provide local control of the Community Center for long-range planning and investment.
• Leverage JCPOS's conservation expertise and resources for South Hogback.
• Improve operational efficiency.
• Reduce duplicative costs.
• Protect natural resources.

Potential benefits include stronger stewardship of open space, clearer and more consistent rules, financial and staff efficiencies, and direct ownership of the Community Center to support future improvements and programming.
