Montour Trail-Letter

Volume 13, Issue 1

January/February, 2002

Development Dimensions International, a worldwide training and consulting firm with its headquarters located in Collier Township, has given the Montour Trail Council a $2,500 contribution to assist with completion of the trail near Route 22, on the Allegheny-Washington County border.

As we went to press, final surfacing of this segment was anticipated in December, creating an uninterrupted 18-mile section of the Montour Trail from Coraopolis to McDonald.

DDI and its president, longtime rails-to-trails backer Bill Byham, will be recognized next spring when the trail is formally opened.

In addition, the Fort Cherry Friends Group has also been given donations for the completion of this section of the trail in amounts of $100 (except where noted) from each of the following businesses:

Advance Auto Parts (Imperial), Tru-Colour Auto Appearance Specialists (Bellevue), Northwest Savings Bank (McDonald), McMahon-Kenneth Insurance Agency (McDonald), and A.C. Lardieri, DMD (McDonald dentist); a $35 donation was received from McDonald Pharmacy. Businesses donating $100 or more will be acknowledged on a permanent sign to be erected on the Trail. Grateful acknowledgement also goes to the Route 980 Tastee-Freez for donating the notice board erected at the Noblestown Road entrance to the trail in October.

Many thanks to all our donors!
