VI. DEVELOPMENT CONCEPT <br />The proposed development concept for Mississippi West Regional Park includes many <br />recreational amenities typically found in the regional parks: picnicking areas, restroom <br />buildings, trails, roads and parking lots. The central feature proposed for Mississippi West <br />Regional Park is an interpretive or visitor center that would serve as a "living laboratory" <br />that incorporates best management practices in sustainability and natural resource <br />restoration. In addition, an arboretum style garden will education visitors between the <br />differences of native and non-native plant species in the area and the required <br />maintenance for each type. Best management practices will educate visitors about <br />restoring disturbed sites in ways that enhance the natural resources, promote long term <br />conservation, and use less costly alternative energy sources. In addition, a supporting <br />maintenance facility will be included in the development. <br />J!
