Town of narrows - mill creek trailhead improvements

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded the Virginia Department of Transportation $120,000 through a Formula Grant under the Recreational Trails Program (CFDA 20.219) on August 14, 2025. The funding supports the Town of Narrows Mill Creek Trailhead Improvements project in Virginia, which encompasses expansion of the gravel parking area, construction of an access path to the trail, installation of wayfinding signage, and native plant restoration. These improvements align with the Recreational Trails Program's core objectives of developing and rehabilitating trailhead facilities to enhance recreational access for both motorized and non-motorized users.

The project delivers tangible infrastructure enhancements that increase trail accessibility and user experience while supporting environmental stewardship through native plant restoration activities. As a Formula Grant administered through the Recreational Trails Program, which apportions funds to states based on established formulas for project selection, this award represents the state's allocation of motor fuel excise tax revenues dedicated to recreational trail development and maintenance across Virginia.
