Organization: Derry Rail Trail Alliance

Year: 2009

Amount: 10000

Type: Bike Path

A $10,000 grant helped the Derry Rail Trail Alliance pave 2 miles of path connecting their namesake trail to the Windham Rail Trail and the Derry Bike Loop. This new connector section of the Derry Rail Trail is also part of the Salem to Concord Bikeway, a 25-mile multi-use path from Concord, New Hampshire, to the Massachusetts border. Our funding helped match donations from several local foundations, individual and business donations, and in-kind contributions of environmental assessment and engineering work.
