IRON MOUNTAIN Iron Mountain City Council gave preliminary approval Monday on pursuing a $230,000 state grant to expand a mountain bike trail system.
Dickinson Trail Network is spearheading the project, which envisions about 6 miles of public trails on city property east of Park Avenue.
A roughly $70,000 local match would be needed for the Michigan Natural Resources Trust Fund grant, but it could come through private donations and in-kind labor.
“Ideally, the city match would be as little as possible,” DTN President Chad Susott said during the Zoom meeting Monday.
The proposed Pewabic Hill trail system complements DTN’s Millie Hill Trailhead, a 5-mile system just west of Park Avenue.
GoFundMe Started to Assist Family Displaced by Vehicle Crashing Into Home in Niagara Falls
By: Staff Reporter
A mother, father, and three small children have found themselves without a place to live after a vehicle smashed into their rental home on the 7000 block of Stephenson Avenue on January 24th, 2021.
Within two days the house was condemned by the City of Niagara Falls and the family left without a place to call home.
The mother, Macayla Voorhees, described the terrifying moment to the Niagara Reporter.
“All of a sudden I felt the entire house shake,” said Macayla. “I had no idea what was happening and ran to my youngest son, age three, who was hysterically crying.”
