Alisa M. Schafer with the Manitowoc Herald Times reports that the city of Manitowoc has received a large Knowles-Nelson grant to expand their trail system.
According to Manitowac’s mayor, Justin Nickels, the funding will go towards “developing this trail system and a future pedestrian bridge over the Little Manitowoc River. The bridge will connect to the Lincoln Park Zoo along with kayak launches and fishing stations.” As with all Knowles-Nelson grants to local governments, the city has allocated matching dollars this project.
Nickels adds that a donation of 11 acres of land by developers along the new trail will help residents “use and appreciate” this green space even more.
