General Management Plan
Hampton
National Historic Site is developing a new General Management Plan, which will
guide the development and interpretation of the park for the next ten to fifteen
years. This process will take several months to complete. It is a great way
for the public to express their hopes for the future of Hampton. The
first public meetings, to gather ideas and concerns early in the planning process
have already occurred.
Additional meetings will be scheduled soon, to present concepts for Hampton's future, based in part on the information gathered at the public scoping workshop
The June 1998 Newsletter is a good place to start learning about the Planning process. It describes the need for a general management plan, and the steps involved in implementing it.

The first public meetings were held in the fall of 1998. The Park Service has written a report of the meetings, including a summary of the public's response.
