The Oshkosh and Green Bay leagues (part of the "River Leagues") collaborated on a joint study regarding the PCB issues and it was discussed that the above topic would be of interest in determining if all four River Leagues would have a study on the Fox River Corridor. The next topic of interest could be the Fox Wisconsin National Heritage Corridor.
