Northern Chautauqua County LWRP (Phase II)

The Chautauqua County Department of Planning and Economic Development and Ingalls Planning & Design are currently in the process of completing a 10 community, phase II LWRP. This master plan for the Northern Chautauqua County waterfront paints a picture for the future development and preservation of the Lake Erie shoreline creating a spectacular and linked waterfront of places, events and attractions. Together the series of plans builds a cohesive lake identity, developed over time to produce a continuous and holistic waterfront experience.
