Six Grants for $1,174,400 Approved
The Northeast Texas Trail Coalition is excited to announce that Texas Parks and Wildlife recently approved six different grants totaling $1,174,400 for various Northeast Texas Trail projects! It’s important to note that these funds are National Recreational Trails Fund doll
ars that fund recreational trail construction, renovation and acquisition. These are federal dollars that are generated from a portion of the federal tax on gasoline. Of these funds, 30% are for motorized recreational trails, 30% for non-motorized and 40% is marked as discretionary. In essence, these are dollars that we, as Texans, send to Washington coming back home to projects here in Northeast Texas.
