Charles Mix County approves grant application for trail from Platte to New Hope Retreat Center
Summary
The board adopted Resolution 2025-07 to sponsor a Transportation Alternatives Program grant to build a trail along 367th Avenue from Platte to the New Hope Retreat Center; the county pledged to provide match funding, coordination, and future maintenance.
The Charles Mix County Board of Commissioners voted Aug. 28 to sponsor a Transportation Alternatives Program grant application to construct a trail along 367th Avenue from Platte to the New Hope Retreat Center. The resolution was approved by a motion from Vice Chairman Nick Stotz and seconded by Commissioner Kory Standy; the record states "all in favor, motion carried."
The adopted Resolution 2025-07 states that Charles Mix County endorses the grant application for the trail, will comply with county planning and zoning requirements, and will assume responsibility for all match funding, project coordination and future trail maintenance. The resolution also authorizes the chairperson to submit the application on the county's behalf.
Supporters told the board the project is intended to create a nonmotorized connection between Platte and the New Hope Retreat Center; the resolution does not specify a construction timeline or dollar amounts. The county will be responsible for meeting any matching-fund requirements if the grant is awarded.
Vice Chairman Nick Stotz and Commissioner Kory Standy carried the motion to adopt the resolution. No commissioner votes opposing or abstaining were recorded in the minutes.
The board did not set a construction schedule or identify specific funding sources at the meeting; follow-up staff work and grant administration were included in the resolution's directives. Next procedural steps will depend on the state Transportation Alternatives Program review and any subsequent award decisions.
