Hatfield mccoy devil anse trail system maintenance

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded $350,000 to the West Virginia Division of Highways on October 28, 2025, under the Surface Transportation Block Grant Program (CFDA 20.287) for the Hatfield McCoy Devil Anse Trail System Maintenance project. The funding supports system maintenance and construction activities on the Hatfield-McCoy Trail network located in Mingo County, West Virginia, with an ultimate completion date of June 28, 2029. This formula grant allocation represents the division's typical utilization of STBG resources for transportation infrastructure preservation and recreation trail system improvements throughout the state.

As a formula grant recipient, the West Virginia Division of Highways receives this allocation through statutory distribution mechanisms rather than competitive procurement, enabling the state to address identified transportation and recreational trail infrastructure needs. The STBG program provides flexible funding for preservation and improvement projects on Federal-aid highways, bridges, and eligible transportation infrastructure, including recreational trail systems like the Hatfield-McCoy Trail network. The division maintains an extensive portfolio of FHWA formula grants totaling $17.75 billion across 17,968 awards, positioning it as the primary implementer of federally funded transportation infrastructure projects across West Virginia's state highway network.
