Hi everyone,

Looking to crowd source potential grant opportunities for building a short (400 yards) walking path/bike path that would connect our Town Hall/Middle/HS complex to a nearby neighborhood.

Kids from this section of town currently have to take a long roundabout path to school. This could shorten their trip significantly.

Town holds a utility easement over the possible route, but the pathway is currently overgrown and impassable.

Alternatively, this could be viewed as a way to better connect a series of bike paths and greenways with a nearby state park. (Wouldn't connect directly, but shave considerable time on the trip)

Open to ideas!

Thanks
