Heritage Rail Trail: Economic Alliance helping York County businesses connect with half a million users
York Dispatch
Twelve local businesses along the York County Heritage Rail Trail are getting a boost from the York County Economic Alliance.
As part of its York County Trail Towns program, the YCEA announced during a Tuesday news conference that the businesses will share $25,000 in Bloom Grants. The grants range from $500 to $5,000, and the 12 businesses were selected out of 19 applicants. We are primarily granting to businesses in our trail towns along the York Heritage Rail Trail, said Silas Chamberlin, YCEA vice president for economic development. And the funds are intended to help these businesses add services or marketing or otherwise try to tap into the roughly half a million people who visit the Heritage Rail Trail every year.
