AUBURN â The DeKalb County Plan Commission Wednesday voted to send a favorable recommendation to the DeKalb County Commissioners on a new DeKalb County Trails Plan.
The plan will be used to guide future planning and development of trails in unincorporated DeKalb County with connections to neighboring counties and municipalities and their existing trails networks.
Having an official, adopted plan will make the county eligible to apply for state and federal grants to develop the trails, the plan commission heard.
The county commissioners will consider the plan July 19 at 9:30 a.m.
The development of a trails plan began in 2019 with a meeting of the non-profit DeKalb County Trails Inc., which worked on it with the Auburn/Waterloo Trail Committee. Due to COVID-19, the plan did not move forward for a period of time, said Chris Gaumer, the countyâs zoning administrator and director of development services.
