The Somerset County Commissioners approved a $30,000 TIF award to the Moose Alley ATV Club for trail repairs in the Lexington/Concord area on July 15 under Resolution 26-134.
During a workshop discussion, Pete Hunter of the E&L ATV Club and Scott Robertson of the Moose Alley ATV Club outlined three projects to redirect trails off logging roads and improve resiliency following 2023 flood damage. "The estimated cost to project one is $60,000 and the club is asking for financial support because the window of opportunity to work on this land is closing in 2026, and this is a primary connector to the trails in Kingfield to the west," the transcript reports. Commissioners discussed seeking matching funds and splitting costs with neighboring counties; Administrator Tim Curtis noted awareness of a request to Franklin County.
On the consent of the board, Resolution 26-134 awarded $30,000 from TIF funds to the Moose Alley ATV Club; the vote was recorded as 3-0. Commissioners also previously added the item to the agenda by motion, signaling support to move the project toward implementation. The clubs and county will coordinate next steps to secure matching funds, permits and scheduling within the 2026 work window.
