The Economic Development Administration awarded a $3.5 million Project Grant to the West Virginia Division of Natural Resources under the Economic Adjustment Assistance program (CFDA 11.307) on July 19, 2022. The funding will support completing final design, development, and construction of an additional 35 miles of mountain bike trails at Cacapon State Park in Charleston, West Virginia. This will expand the park's existing 15-mile trail system and make it a regional destination for mountain biking with a diversity of trail types and difficulty levels. Once completed, the increased outdoor recreation and tourism activities enabled by the trail expansion are expected to support local businesses and economic growth in the surrounding region through job creation and private investment.
