New Museum on Catawba River

I just received my copy of "Links", the official magazine of the Culture & Heritage Museums of York County. I was excited to read about the master plan for the new museum that is being built along the Catawba River. This museum will be housed in an ecologically designed building, and will feature aquariums with live fish and river animals, a planetarium, interactive exhibits, and a restaurant featuring local foods.

The museum's three strongest resources will be 1) The Catawba River, 2) local culture and crossroads, and 3) education about sustainability offered in the Kanawha community.

The Kanawha community, being developed along the banks of the Catawba River, is a unique community grounded planned design and environmental awareness. It is to be a place where "educational, social and cultural activities are an integral part of life." Community gardens, hiking trails, green space, pedestrian oriented shopping and dining will all be a part of this area.

More than ever, the Catawba River is vital to our community. I am excited about these new developments that will promote conservation awareness and efforts to preserve our natural resources!
