Greene County Receives $731,440 Federal Grant for Trail Sidewalk
What happened
Greene County was granted $731,440 in federal money to construct a 5-foot-wide, ADA-compliant sidewalk on portions of the Hunter Regional Trail. Kathy Hochul announced the allocation on October 14, providing funds from the Federal Highway Administration's Transportation Alternatives Program. The sidewalk will run between Twilight General Store and Haines Falls Auto Center, improving pedestrian safety and access to the trail system.

Why it matters
The funding addresses a 'missing piece' in the Hunter Area Trail Coalition's system and was suggested by officials at the state Department of Transportation. State Sen. Michelle Hinchey's office was instrumental in supplying the required match funds for the grant.
