The Ohio Department of Natural Resources says nearly 8 million dollars worth of state and federal grants will fund the creation of and improvements to recreational trails.
The state grants come from the Clean Ohio Trails Fund, and will go to community projects that complete regional trail systems, create links to statewide trails and connect urban areas with outdoor recreation areas. Twenty-five miles of new trail will be developed. The federal funding is part of the Recreation Trails Program, and will focus on projects that create and maintain trails, improve access for those with disabilities and provide trail safety and environment education.
