Governor Fletcher Presents Funding for 34 Recreational Trails Grants
Projects will benefit communities across Kentucky
FRANKFORT, Ky. – Governor Ernie Fletcher and the Governor’s Office for Local Development (GOLD) presented checks today for more than $1 million in Recreational Trails funding for 34 recommended projects across Kentucky.
“These projects provide new opportunities for citizens to enjoy and explore their communities and surrounding areas,” said Governor Fletcher. “Implementing this number of worthy grants will bring much needed recreational investment and encourage further development across the state.”
The Recreational Trails Program is funded through the Federal Highway Administration and may be used to acquire land for recreational trails and to develop and renovate trails for both motorized and non-motorized use. Recreational Trails funding is administered by the Governor’s Office for Local Development.
