11. 6:00 Request Approval of the Recommendation for Heartland Trail State or Regional Trail

Board of Commissioners Meeting · 2026-06-16 · agenda_item

This item concerns a proposal for the Heartland Trail to be designated as a State or Regional Trail. The Board of Commissioners will consider a recommendation for this designation. This designation is currently under review. If approved, the project could involve planning and design work for trail development, potentially including site surveys, environmental assessments, and preliminary engineering. Future phases might include land acquisition, construction, and landscaping. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers in areas such as engineering, surveying, construction, and landscaping could find opportunities. Engaging early, before final plans and permits are set, offers the best chance to compete for future work.
