Georgetown-Lewes Trail Final Phase
December 19, 2024
The final phase of the Georgetown-Lewes Trail in Sussex County, DE is projected to be completed in spring of 2026.
We’re excited to share updates on the trail amenity projects being undertaken by the First State Trails Coalition* Trail Amenity Grant recipients: Coalition members Bike Newark, Delaware Center for Horticulture and the Riverfront Development Corporation of Delaware. Each organization proposed their amenity projects based on grant requirements earlier this year. The new amenities will be welcome additions for trail users!
Funded by the William Penn Foundation, the grants are being matched by each organization, expanding the scope of work completed.
*Formerly the Future Trails of Northern Delaware Coalition
