At the writing of this report, "in-town" is defined as extending from the Connecticut River west of the Rinker Tract and Oak Hill to and along Grasse Road to East Wheelock Street, then cross-country to the intersection of Lebanon Street and Greensboro Road, and south on Lebanon Street to the southern boundary of the Town of Hanover.
Guiding this Open Space Priorities Plan is a vision of Hanover in times to come, a town shaped physically by its varied topography, generous open spaces, and various built structures, and with every resident assured of a stable and bountiful resource base, and a variety of conveniently located outdoor recreation opportunities.
Just as motivations for open space preservation vary from person to person, and circumstance to circumstance, protection techniques vary to meet differing needs.
