Good News!  Our application for funding by the Clean Ohio Recreational Trail Fund administered by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources to construct 2 miles of trail has been approved!  This trail is Part 1 of a trail that will connect Washington Court House (and the Tri-County Triangle Trail) to Wilmington and ultimately extend to the Little Miami trail at Morrow.  

 

This section extends southwest from Jamison Rd. to Bush Rd.  The Clinton County Park District has received funding for construction phase of 6 miles of the trail in Clinton County!

 

A big thanks to everyone who assisted in this effort including Trail-Works founder, Jim Schneider, who has 20 years of practical experience in all aspects of trails, the Fayette County Commissioners who submitted the application on our behalf and the Union Twp.  Trustees, City of Washington, Fayette Chamber of Commerce who provided letters of support and trail members who assisted in the writing of the grant of the grant and Tri-County Triangle Trail who pledged funds for any shortfall in the grant.

 

This is a 100% reimbursable grant that was funded when Ohio voters overwhelmingly passed the Clean Ohio Bond Issue.

Looking for a unique gift?  You can support the trail by purchasing a Chillicothe B & O Union Train Station print that features t he historic train station that was located on E. Main. It was destroyed by an arson fire in February 2012 after standing there for 140 years.  The print is of excellent quality and feature the train station and a historic steam locomotive!  Lots of history with President Herbert Hoover giving a speech at the station on October 28, 1932. Pictured is a framed copy of the print.

 

The price is $65.00 and they are available at the Craft Mall, 674 N High St, Chillicothe and the  Pump House Art Gallery in Yoctangee Park or call Doris Hill at 740-775-9322.  A great gift idea!  I remember going to the train station as a child and watching the steam locomotives at the station.

Read about what has been accomplished in 2013!  Find out what is happening in 2014 on the trail, grants and new construction! The half marathon and bicycle ride dates have been set!
