The Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC) has awarded a $30,000 grant to expand the trails system in Garrett County, U.S. Senators Barbara Mikulski and Ben Cardin announced Tuesday.
The funds will be used to conduct a feasibility study of a looped trail system in the county. The route will connect the county’s existing trails to other public parks and regional trails, including the Great Allegheny Passage.
The study will also explore options for developing 75 miles of new trail that will maximize use of the county’s large amounts of publicly owned land.
The project will be administered by Garrett County Trails. In addition to ARC funds, Garrett Trails will provide $20,000, and the Maryland Program Open Space will provide $10,000, bringing the total project funding to $60,000.
