FSTC Trail Amenity Grant Updates

Home » FSTC Trail Amenity Grant Updates

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.
