The process of the unfolding of the Northern Tier Coalition is at
this point unfinished. Much lies ahead as the NTC begins the comprehensive
planning process over the next year. And that is exciting. The best
conclusion is a therefore a recognition of the efforts of those who
have contributed in many ways to the process and project to date. It
is also a way to say thank you for what has been an extraordinary experience
over the last six months. In this light, the project team wishes to
thank the many township officials, organizational leaders, and volunteers
who have given so generously of their time and energy during this effort,
most of whom are hopefully listed below. At every turn in the process,
we have been most fortunate to benefit from your knowledge and enthusiasm
about this special place. You have hosted tours, organized informal
events, planned presentations, and looked after us in every way. Our
students have learned much from you and the promise of leaders and community
members who care about the future of their special area. Godspeed and
good luck in the coming days.
