New grant monies have become available for economic development along the Erie-to-Pittsburgh Trail, along with other regional trail networks, through the Progress Fund’s Trail Town Program.
Recently, the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Rural Community Development Initiative awarded a $140,000 grant to implement the Trail Town Program’s “Six Services” over the next two years. Those services include business assistance and development, marketing, economic research, community connections, real estate development and small business loans.
The recent grant enables the Trail Town Program to apply these services to 19 rural communities across the “Industrial Heartland Trails Coalition” region to network and leverage resources in trail tourism and revitalization.
