The Greenway is moving forward, and we hope to continue to press an exciting demonstration project, the 35 mile Island Hopper Trail as noted this article today from the Jacksonville Times-Union:
To kick start the project, Coastal Georgia Greenway directors will ask DOT for $17 million to fund the Island Hopper Trail. The 35-mile route would link Jekyll Island to the Sapelo Island Visitors Center via the 6-mile Jekyll causeway, U.S. 17 and Georgia 99, winding past connecting trails in Brunswick, St. Simons and Darien.
Stay tuned for what develops next!
Many of you in the Savannah area also probably caught the excellent coverage of the Coastal Georgia Greenway in the current issue of the South Magazine, on newsstands now, but if not, follow the link or grab a copy today!
