Abstract

In an interview with Troy Reeves on July 22, 1998, Joe LaMarche discusses his involvement with the Greenbelt and Pathways Committee. He describes the role the committee played in development of the project, how the meetings worked, and how the committee balanced competing interests. He touches on his memory of the river in the 1950s, how his experience with the Greenbelt led him to understand the river as an asset to the community, and his feelings about the Greenbelt currently. Joe discusses some of the ongoing issues with property development, the lack of funding for maintenance, his concern for the future of the Greenbelt without the Greenbelt and Pathways Committee, and the ongoing issues with planning how the Greenbelt will run through BSU’s campus.
