HARTFORD, Conn. - An agreement has been reached on how to support the first national Blueway, which encompasses the entire Connecticut River watershed.

U.S. Interior Deputy Secretary David Hayes planned to announce details Saturday in Hartford.

That department, the U.S. Department of Agriculture, and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers have entered into a memorandum of understanding in support of the Blueway.

The Connecticut River watershed received the unique designation in May, ensuring a national effort to preserve its natural beauty and maintain his health as an eco-system.

The 7.2 million acre watershed runs through four New England states: Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Vermont.
