(May 2021) ALPA issues statement of support for NFP Phase 2

The Board of the Asylum Lake Preservation Association supports the City of Kalamazoo's proposed additions to the NFP protections. We note especially that the area around the Asylum Lake Preserve has additional parcels reserved in Phase Two. This adjacent area is an important one to include, as the Preserve is under pressure from development, since it is located within the City, which has limited green space. We support these additions which further protect this significant resource to the community.

The new map includes areas that border on the Asylum Lake Preserve. Please make your voices heard.

Comments on the map will be taken at the NFP Review Board meeting on Tuesday, May 25 at 4:00 p.m. you can email your thoughts/opinions directly to Jamie McCarthy (mccarthyja@kalamazoocity.org) with the note that you would like your input included in the packets to both the NFP Review Board and the Planning Commission.
