Governor Holcomb Announces Trail Grants for Projects Across the Region, State

Across the state and the Region, $65 million in grants have been awarded for for 77 miles of new trail development as part of the third round of the Next Level Trails program. Locally, they include six-and-a-half miles of Marquette Greenway in Porter County, as well as three miles of C&O Trail in Merrillville and Lake County, and the Lincoln Trail extension in far west-central LaPorte County. The Governors office says ninety-four percent of Hoosiers now live within five miles of a trail. “Trails connect communities together in such a personal way and are perfect pathways to good mental and physical well-being,”said Indiana Governor Eric Holcomb. “These continued quality-of-life investments will reap generational economic and tourism development dividends and further showcase Indiana’s incredible outdoor experiences.” Here’s a link to the map showing the latest trail grants.
