Tuesday the Iowa Transportation Commission approved $3,523,206 for nine State Recreational Trails Program projects.
The State Recreational Trails Program was created in 1988 with the purpose of developing and maintaining recreational trails and trail-related facilities for both motorized and non-motorized trail users.
This funding is available to cities, counties, state agencies, local governments, and nonprofit organizations through an annual application-based program.
Two of the projects are in the local area. The Iowa River’s Edge Trail resurfacing and bridge replacement project in Hardin County, which will receive a grant of 745-thousand dollars.
The other is the Pioneer Trail Reinbeck Gap project in Grundy County, which will receive a grant of $279,786.
