Trail users — big news! 🎉

The Union County Trail Authority just secured nearly $1.8 million for the design and construction of the US Route 15 crossing on the Buffalo Valley Rail Trail — a huge milestone that’s been years in the making.

A massive thank‑you goes out to all the local (and not‑so‑local) supporters who’ve stood behind this project. The UCTA Board also extends deep appreciation to Secretary Michael Carroll, Secretary Cindy Dunn, Senator Gene Yaw, and their dedicated staffs for helping guide this grant to approval.

This progress wouldn’t have happened without the combined effort of everyone involved. THANK YOU and see you on the trail! 🚴‍♀️🌿
