Progress was made at the Iowa Transportation Commission on Tuesday, November 12th. The ITC approved $3,523,206 for nine State Recreational Trails Program projects. The State Recreational Trails Program was created in 1988, designed with the idea of developing and maintaining recreational trails and trail-related facilities for motorized and non-motorized trail users.
Funding is available to cities, counties, state agencies, local governments, and nonprofit organizations through an annual application-based program.
The Flint River Trail Connection in Burlington will receive $71,625, and the Bentonsport Bridge Rehab (Van Buren County Conservation Board) will receive $ 403,000 in approved funding.
