State Approves New Trail Money
Money to pay for preliminary work on Bradford's Community Parks Trail has been approved by the state.
The city will receive $175,000 for the planning work, which will include drawings, specifications and related documents to get ready for bidding and construction of about 2.9 miles of trail starting at the Richard E. McDowell Community Trail and connecting to both Callahan and Hanley parks.
Funding for the grants comes from the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources’ Keystone Fund, which is generated from a portion of the realty transfer tax, Growing Greener I and II and the ATV/Snowmobile Fund.
$25,000 is also going to a study that will look into the feasibility of a trail system connecting the Borough of Smethport and Keating Township, and to develop a master plan for a 325-acre county-owned park and 35-acre park, both in Keating Township.
