Re: [Positive Spin] Fayette County Commission Agenda Meeting

Thanks Donna Do you understand why there are two meetings this week? Is one better for getting the message across? Also do both meetings start at 10AM?

The short answer is $50,000 in locally sourced funds can be used to leverage funding for 1 mile of trail. I believe these early grabs for funds are the most important, if we start to make some serious headway we will gather the momentum to kick this project into high gear.
