WIL iron horse river trail

The Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) received a $960,000 Formula Grant from the Federal Highway Administration's Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) on December 27, 2023. The grant will fund the construction of the Iron Horse River Trail, a shared-use path project along the St. Joseph River in Montpelier, Ohio. The project includes constructing the trail from the Montpelier Senior Center to the north terminus of River Street within the Village of Montpelier.

ODOT has sub-awarded a portion of the grant funding to the Village of Montpelier to support the shared-use path project. The Federal Highway Administration's Highway Planning and Construction program provides formula-based funding to state transportation agencies like ODOT for a wide range of infrastructure initiatives, including highway construction, bridge repairs, and pedestrian/bicycle improvements.
