Issue: The Payette River Scenic Byway is doing an update of its Corridor Management Plan. This plan will help define goals and implementation priorities in topic areas ranging from transportation safety & traveler amenities to marketing & economic development. The Byway team recruited Chris Danley from Vitruvian Planning to help them creating their plan and is now transitioning into the economic development aspect of the effort.
