Winooski, VT - The Chittenden County Regional Planning Commission (CCRPC) is pleased to announce that it has secured a $5,000 grant from the Champlain Valley National Heritage Partnership to create three outdoor interpre-tive panels on the history of Lake Champlain's fisheries. The CCRPC will work in partnership with the Lake Champlain International, to oversee design, fabrication and installation of three, bilingual interpretive panels concerning historic and present day fisheries on Lake Champlain. Written in both English and French, the panels will focus on commercial fishing, recreational fishing and historic Native American fisheries. Panels will be installed at boat launches or marinas or other public and high visibility locations in lakeshore communities that are part of the Lake Champlain Byway.
