Delaware Valley Regional Commission Approves $5 Million In Trail Grants

The Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission Friday approved over $5 million for 14 trail projects in Greater Philadelphia.
           Funded by the William Penn Foundation, the DVRPC Regional Trails Program funds planning, design, and construction projects to complete gaps within Greater Philadelphia's multi-use trail network.
            “Our region has a variety of opportunities to create a connected network of multi-use trails, including both right-of-ways inherited from the area’s long history as a hub of railroad activity, and greenway corridors that follow the region’s creek buffering and park systems,” said Louis Cappelli, Jr., DVRPC Board Chair and Freeholder Director, Camden County Board of Chosen Freeholders. “These projects capitalize upon these opportunities to help create a truly connected, regional network of multi-use trails with Philadelphia and Camden as its hub.”
            A list of projects funded is available online.
