Union Point awarded $2.7 million TAP grant to finish Firefly Trail connection to downtown
Summary
The City of Union Point received a $2.7 million Transportation Alternatives Program grant administered by GDOT to complete the final connection of the Firefly Trail to downtown across four phases, with an anticipated finish in 2028.
The City of Union Point has been awarded a $2.7 million Transportation Alternatives Program (TAP) grant that will fund the final connection of the Firefly Trail to downtown Union Point, City Clerk Becky Cronic told the council at the June 10 meeting.
Cronic said the grant is a Georgia Department of Transportation project and will be administered by GDOT. The work is planned in four phases; the city reported anticipated completion in 2028. Council and staff approved a memorandum of understanding with the Greene County Library for a Story Walk along the trail and will meet in early July to select panel locations.
The TAP grant funds are intended for pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure; the minutes do not specify local matching requirements or a construction timetable beyond the four-phase plan and the 2028 completion estimate. Further details, including procurement and engineering schedules, will be set during project administration by GDOT and city staff.
