Montour Trail-Letter

Volume 13, Issue 3

May/June, 2002

The Montour Trail Council has received a $5,000 state grant to assist with acquisition of two greatly needed maintenance vehicles.

The grant was obtained from the Department of Community and Economic Development through the assistance of State Rep. John Pippy.

The Council's aging truck is not expected to last beyond this year. A new truck will be used to clear sections of trail under development, remove overgrowth and rubbish along the trail, and deliver materials for repair and resurfacing activities.

In addition, the Council plans to obtain a tractor with a side-mounted brush hog, in order to carry out mowing along the trail right-of-way and to assist in other construction and repair activities.

Thank you, Rep. Pippy and DCED, for your concern for keeping the Montour Trail in excellent condition!
