I’m writing in response to recent letters to the editor which disclaim involvement by the Land Bank in the Town to Zylstra Lake Trail Project.

The Land Bank is a budgeted County department, so even without other evidence, there is obvious joining at the hip no matter which way you bake the cake. A review of the Comprehensive Plan (see pages 25-27) shows the Land Bank is heavily involved in County trail projects. The Land Bank expressed specific support of the trail in its meetings, supported the “War Trail” group, and was looking to connect its properties throughout the island via trails.
