Bowling Green Greenbelt Honored with Earth Day Award-April 25, 2005
The Greenways Commission of Bowling Green and Warren County was created in 2001 by joint action of the City and County governments. The Greenways Commission Board consists of twelve voting members. The Board meets monthly on the first Monday at 4 p.m. in the 2nd floor conference room at the City-County Planning Commission. The Board establishes priorities, develops cost estimates, solicits public input, and recommends detailed master plans for each of the specific phases of the Greenbelt System Master Plan. The Board will apply for grant funds subject to City and County approval, and report to the Board of Commissioners and Fiscal Court on a periodic basis. The Greenbelt System Master Plan for Bowling Green and Warren was prepared in 1998 by Lose and Associates of Nashville. The Master Plan was officially adopted by the Bowling Green City Commission and the Warren County Fiscal Court in 1999.
