MDC SEEKING PLANNING INPUT

The Missouri Department of Conservation will be seeking input for its new "five-year strategic plan" during a special open house to be held at the MDC's Regional Service Center in Cape Girardeau Saturday.

Department of Conservation representatives from several departments will be on hand during two sessions Saturday to receive input for the new strategic plan.

The Department of Conservation's current strategic plan will expire in June of 1994.

MDC officials are laying groundwork to complete a new five-year plan by then.

Saturday's planning meetings will be held at the local center, located in Cape Girardeau County Park (North) March 26 Saturday, a half-mile east of Interstate 55, exit 99, at 10 a.m and 4 p.m.

"Agency leaders will hold meeting throughout the state to explain the planning process," said Steve Wilson, of the regional headquarters. "They will explain the planning process and ask the public to help identify needs, priorities and concerns."
