CADIZ Harrison County secured nearly $1 million in funding for a county trail improvement project that is set to get underway later this year.
The county hopes to begin paving the Conotton Creek Trail by the end of September now that it is eligible to receive up to $950,000 in Ohio Department of Transportation funding.
The Harrison County Board of Commissioners signed an agreement between the county and ODOT for the federal funding during Wednesday’s regular meeting. The agreement states that ODOT will pay 95 percent of the eligible costs for the estimated $1,020,968 project while the county will be responsible for the remaining cost.
