Blueway Tours are the Best Tours

Our Planning + Design group took part in a joint 2-mile kayak trip aimed to raise public awareness for the ongoing Parks & Recreation Master Plan that McAdams is performing for Harnett County. The McAdams team joined the leadership from Harnett County and Play Across America at the Cape Fear Outfitters in Lillington to see how this master plan can stimulate economic vitality with a blueway / river walk along the Cape Fear River.

The kayak trip was a great way to discover how a blueway can lend itself to economic development opportunities.  The setting also allowed the delegation to share the experience of navigating the Cape Fear River.  While some of the stakeholders were avid outdoor enthusiasts, the kayaking was particularly eye opening for some first-timers, creating more support for Harnett County’s Parks and Rec programs.
