The Glass City Riverwalk is one step closer to securing the necessary funding thanks to a $1 million donation from the Owens Corning Foundation.
The Riverwalk will connect six neighborhoods, improve water quality in the Maumee River and Lake Erie, and create a five-mile greenway along both sides of the river in downtown and east Toledo.
