Summit
County Trail & Greenway Plan
|
|
| The
Summit County Trail & Greenway Plan-Phase 2 is a conceptual
plan proposing trails and greenways throughout Summit County. These
networks of trails are east and west linkages, linking communities
to communities, also linking communities to the Towpath Trail and
to other local and regional trails and greenways. To date, this
plan is implemented and will be available to the local communities.
The Plan, identifies trails and greenways throughout Summit County
and maps of the nine regions within Summit County. |
|
|
|
Several grassroot committees have been
formed as a result of this plan and the OECC is working with various
communities to assist in the implementation of trails in their area.
|
How
can you be involved?
These trails and greenways will happen at the local level, thus, grass
root committees are imperative to the success of this plan. If you are
interested in becoming involved, please contact Debby Rolland, Summit
County Trail and Greenway Community Grant Program Coordinator, at the
OECC office at (330) 434-5657 or contact us online.
How
will these projects be funded?
These projects can be funded in a number of ways. One way, is to apply
for grant money through the Summit County Trail and Greenway Community
Grant Program or through the Ohio Department of Natural Resources and
the Ohio Department of Transportation. Another way is to develop partnerships,
folks working together to meet a common goal within their communities.
Also, working with local business owners and corporations.
