Imagine a greenway corridor stretching across Madison County for use by bicyclists, walkers, joggers, in-line skaters, bird watchers, nature lovers, cross-country skiers, senior citizens, families and school children.
Trails provide a safe area for families to walk, ride bikes or recreate away from automobile and commercial truck traffic. Attractive views, open space and alternative transportation routes significantly increase values and improve marketability of nearby properties.
A mile of trail can generate up to $110,000 per year in economic benefit from an initial average investment of $100,000 per mile to acquire, engineer and pave trail land, according to the Ohio Rails to Trails Conservancy. Trail access helps retain area businesses and attract new investment along with opening up business opportunities and resources for tourism and other commercial activities.
