Directions to PAHC meeting at C & O Canal NHP HQ

Take I-70 Exit 32B onto US 40/Dual Highway.

In about 1/2 mile you'll pass Day Road on the right.

The two-story large brick building just beyond Day road (also on your right) at 1850 Dual Highway includes the headquarters for the C&O Canal NHP.

The entrance to the parking that encircles the building is just beyond the building as you drive along the Dual Highway in front of it.

If you are coming south from Hagerstown on the Dual Highway, there is a turn lane in the median at Day Road to allow you to get into the lanes in the opposite direction from which you can access the parking around the building.

Enter through the front door facing the Dual Highway. There will be signs posted to guide you to the conference room on the second floor. There is an elevator.

Program of PAHC meeting

Morning Session - 10 AM to 12 noon

Lunch and Networking – (catered) – 12 noon to 2 PM

Afternoon Session – 2 PM to 4 PM

During the two hour morning session, there will be eight 15 minute presentations, to briefly address the following questions:

  - How do you envision a Potomac Allegheny corridor organization?

  - What would a corridor umbrella organization need to be and do to benefit your constituency?

  - Do you think the corridor has potential for attracting national and international travelers with a 

    broad diversity of interests?

  - What is being done now to promote the corridor as such?

  - What more can and should be done, if anything?

During the two hour afternoon session, the group of speakers and participants will:

  - Define the corridor geographically, topically, and temporally

  - Indicate agreement and disagreement with the West Overton Village meeting determinations (name PAHC, Eastern terminus at Mt. Vernon and western terminus at the Pittsburgh Point, breadth to be defined as the corridor is more clearly conceptualized and begins to form, and to incorporate all historic eras up to the present and into the future)

 - Decide what the next step(s) should be.
