The 2012 round of Recreational Trails Program grants have been cancelled due to "technical corrections" to the funding formula. See the NH Trails Bureau press release here for more information. Recreational Trails Program grants have been the primary source of trail construction funding to date. Fortunately, the 2011 grant (see below) is not affected.
Construction work on the segment of the trail between Danis Park Road and Lynchville Park Road is complete for the season. Final finishing tasks will be performed in the spring. This work has been primarily funded by a 2011 Recreational Trails Program grant, with the actual work performed by the Goffstown DPW.
The Friends of the Goffstown Rail Trail will be taking a winter break from our regular meeting schedule. The next regular meeting will be Tuesday February 28th. In the mean time, get those skis and snowshoes ready to go hit the trail.
The 2012 round of Recreational Trail Program grants has been cancelled by the NH Bureau of Trails, due to a funding recission by the Federal Highway Administration. The possibility of future grants through this program is currently unknown. This has no effect on the current Transportation Enhancement grant funded project, which is currently in the design phase, with construction planned for summer.
