Jaycee landing trails phase 1

The Georgia Department of Transportation was awarded a $125,000 Recreational Trails Program Formula Grant by the Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration on March 30, 2021. The grant will fund the construction of approximately 700 feet of five-foot-wide raised boardwalk and 3/10 of a mile of nature trail along a river bank in Georgia. A 12x12-foot raised birdwatching platform four feet above ground level with handrails will also be constructed at the end of the boardwalk trail. The Recreational Trails Program provides funds to states to develop and maintain recreational trails and trail-related facilities for both motorized and nonmotorized recreational uses. This award will support the development of new accessible trails and a birdwatching area for public recreational use in Georgia.
