Issues for the 2025 North Fork Summer Interlocal
In case some of you are North Fork residents/landowners, but are not on the Interlocal mailing list, Here’s a copy of a recent email about submitting local issues and concerns for discussion at the meeting…
Hi, folks.
This year’s Summer 2025 Interlocal Agreement Meeting is hosted by the North Fork Landowners Association on July 9, 1:00pm, at Sondreson Hall. It is preceded by the annual Firewise meeting at 9:30am and lunch at noon.
For those of you new to this, Interlocal meetings are held twice each year, winter and summer. These semi-annual get-togethers are intended to encourage open discussion between North Fork landowners and neighbors, and local, state and federal agencies. In other words, it’s a big deal if you have an interest in the North Fork.
As a convenience (it’s not required), I’m serving as a central point of contact for issues that North Fork organizations and individuals would like to see addressed by the various government agencies represented at the meeting. If you’ll send me your issues via email to wkwalker@nvdi.com by the afternoon of Wednesday, June 25, I’ll see to it that they get passed on to the various organizations in enough time for them to prepare their presentations.
Please feel free to get in touch if you have any questions.
