The Russian River in Mendocino

I think a focus should be on reclaiming the land along the Russian
River in this county and "developing" it for recreational use of the
Russian River.

Agriculture is a small percentage of the employment pie compared to
other categories:

The resort in Healdsburg, providing opportunity for recreational use
of the Russian River, is just one thing that can be done here to
reclaim a river which locals almost never use, unlike what long time
people say USED to be the case.

Thanx for the link, I'm new in the area and this is a good start to understanding the demographics here.
