The National Park Service invites public input on a feasibility study that will be used to determine whether the Finger Lakes region could become a national heritage area.
Unlike national parks, people actually live in the large landscapes the park service refers to as national heritage areas. Consequently, national heritage areas' entities work with communities to determine how to make heritage relevant to local interests and needs.
The comment period for the Finger Lakes National Heritage Area Feasibility Study started Monday and will end on June 1. More information about the study is available at https://parkplanning.nps.gov/FingerLakes.
