JONESTOWN – A $750,000 grant awarded this week will support further construction of the Lebanon Valley Rail Trail, according to Rep. Russ Diamond (R-Lebanon).
The grant from the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources’ Community Conservation Partnerships Program will be used to build 2.1 miles of trail from Pine Tree Road to Lickdale Road.
The project includes a pedestrian bridge, fencing and stormwater management measures.
“We’re fortunate in Lebanon County to have access to such a high-quality rail trail,” Diamond said. “I applaud the county on its efforts to ensure the trail is around for the future and accessible to those with mobility challenges.”
