Local Foundation Gives $10,000 To Planning Dept.
July 28, 2016 at 4:25 p.m.
The Kosciusko County Foundation recently awarded a $10,000 grant to Warsaw's Planning Department for the Kosciusko County Bikeway System. The award will be used as part of the local match if the federal ISTEA grant for the proposed bikeway project is approved by the Indiana Department of Transportation later this year.
The proposed bike route would link Winona Lake beach with the City-County Athletic Complex. Construction of the approximately 6-mile bikeway system would take place in three phases, with the first phase - Zimmer Road to the CCAC - beginning as early as next year if the necessary funds are generated. The estimated total cost of the project is more than $550,000, with the required local contribution more than $150,000.
If the federal grant is approved, project organizers will seek private donations to meet the required local match. The city of Warsaw, the town of Winona Lake and Kosciusko County commissioners have shown interest in supporting the project, but none have committed financially.
For more information about the proposed bikeway project, contact Jeff Noffsinger, assistant city planner for Warsaw, at 372-9550. [[In-content Ad]]
