Dear Readers:

In the event you had not heard this news, I received an email regarding some funding that the county received to support the rails to trails program that it is undertaking. Cindy Smith reports that

Dorchester County was awarded $220,700 in construction funds for the Cannery Park Rails to Trails project. The project will renovate 1/3 mile of an abandoned rail line to serve as a multi-modal path in Cambridge, Maryland. The project incorporates a renovated park space and restored stream, and brings to fruition one component of the multi-year planning and redevelopment effort of Cannery Park. The project will link to the Phillips Packing House redevelopment project and an envisioned county-wide 30-mile rail trail project. The effort has leveraged public and private investments.

Thank you Cindy for your efforts.

Steve
