"This grant will transform walking, bicycling, and alternative transportation in Spartanburg County for generations to come. This trail segment of The Dan will connect our neighborhoods to each other, to our thriving downtown, to educational centers, and to some of our most beautiful natural resources like the Fairforest Creek."
Cole Alverson, Spartanburg County Administrator
"Spartanburg County's Mission is to provide a foundation for a superior quality of life for our residents. This award is essential in helping us achieve that goal. We are excited that, through this grant, we'll be able to better connect our communities to one another; and we're pleased to give our families and friends yet another reason to be proud to call Spartanburg County 'home.'"
Manning Lynch, Spartanburg County Council Chairman
"In a time when talented folks can choose to live and work anywhere, quality of life issues become even more important. Our existing trails, particularly the Mary Black Rail Trail, are among the most used parks in Spartanburg County. This grant will allow us to build on that foundation and provide even more of our citizens access to recreation and wellness. This is a great win to add to Spartanburg County’s recent successes."
