Commission grants up to $15,300 for emergency storm repairs on Mon River and Deckers Creek trails
Summary
The Monongalia County Commission approved supplemental funding up to $15,300 for the Monongahela River Trails Conservancy to complete emergency storm repairs following washouts on the Mon River Rail Trail and Deckers Creek Rail Trail.
Monongalia County commissioners approved up to $15,300 in supplemental funds Wednesday to support emergency storm repairs on two segments of the county’s trail network. A county representative described “big washouts and major damage” that the Monongahela River Trails Conservancy (MRTC) addressed rapidly. A motion to approve supplemental funding, not to exceed $15,300, was moved, seconded and carried by unanimous vote. Why it matters: the funding will help repair trail damage and restore public access to the Mon River Rail Trail and Deckers Creek Rail Trail, which county officials said experienced significant storm-related erosion. Implementation: the approved amount is supplemental and limited; the conservation organization will complete repairs and the county will reimburse or provide the supplemental funding as authorized.
