Gov. Eric Holcomb and Indiana Department of Natural Resources director Cameron Clark have announced details of the second round of the Next Level Trails grant program, including three workshops in August for interested applicants.
Next Level Trails, which will dedicate $90 million of State funds over the life of the program, is the largest infusion of trail funding in state history. The grant program is divided into two components: a $70 million fund for regional projects and a $20 million fund for local projects.
Each requires a minimum 20 percent project match, which can include monetary contributions, land value, and in-kind donations of materials and labor. Projects funded through this program must be open to the public.
