The city of Ronceverte has received $474,000 in funding for sidewalks. The funding will pay for the design and construction of approximately 2,000 linear feet of replacement sidewalk along Main Street.
The funding was announced by Gov. Justice’s office and is part of over $8.3 million in Transportation Alternatives and Recreational Trails grants, benefitting dozens of communities across state. The grants help towns and cities improve their recreational trails, biking/walking paths, sidewalks, and more.
Justice announced grants for 29 improvement projects in 21 counties across West Virginia. These grants help towns and cities improve their network of recreational trails, biking/walking paths, sidewalks, and more, by either building from scratch or enhancing what they already have through various types of projects. The program is administered by the West Virginia Department of Transportation and funded by the Federal Highway Administration.
“This program will provide millions of dollars that is going to be put to work making our cities and towns easier to get around and making our beautiful park trails even more appealing and accessible to West Virginians of all abilities,” Justice said. “These projects will also draw tourism and visitation to new destinations all throughout our state and the positive economic ripple effects will be off the charts.
“I could not be more proud to make my recommendations for each of these deserving and exciting projects on behalf of these communities and the entire state,” Justice added.
