This is an opinion.
I stumbled onto a hopeful sign about Newton County’s future the other night, and it’s something that’s been working to help this county for quite some time already.
The volunteers with the nonprofit Newton Trails have been working for decades to create a series of trails countywide using natural or often abandoned, manmade resources already in place to create free recreation options at little to no cost to taxpayers though local governments have used some sales tax and other public funds for some paving and other work.
