Commission authorizes application for $200,000 state trails grant with $100,000 match pledge
Summary
The board authorized staff to apply for a $200,000 Georgia DNR Recreational Trails Program grant to add 2–3 miles of trails at Pine Road Park; Lovejoy Capital pledged a $100,000 match so the application would not require county funds.
A county presenter asked permission to apply for the Georgia Department of Natural Resources Recreational Trails Program (RTP) grant for trail construction at Pine Road Park. He said the request is for $200,000, requires a 50% match, and that Lovejoy Capital has committed $100,000 to serve as the local match.
Staff said the proposed trails are on the North and South sides of Pine Road Park (near the Okfuskee Center) and would add roughly 2–3 miles of new multi-use paths consistent with the existing master plan; staff also emphasized the grant is competitive. Commissioners authorized the application by motion.
