Katy Trail phase 2 seeks $1.8M in TxDOT funding
Herald Democrat
The Katy Trail project may soon take a large step toward its final destination in Texoma Health Foundation Park. The Denison City Council recently authorized staff to apply for state funding to build out the $1.8 million second phase of the hike and bike trail system.
The city will be applying for funding through the 2021 Transportation Alternatives Set-Aside program, which is overseen by the Texas Department of Transportation. If approved, this would mark the second time that the program has been used to finance the trail system. It has been a true joy seeing the progression of phase one, Assistant Parks and Recreation Director Kimberly Bowen said. I ve had many conversations with community members who have already been enjoying the trail and expressed the delight they find in walking or running the trail daily.
