NMBA and the Centre Region Bicycle Coalition partnered with Clearwater Conservancy to land a $10,000 grant to help build a bike path connecting Musser Gap and State College. This is part of an overall project to open Musser as a new trailhead to Rothrock, one that will be easily and safely within riding distance of downtown. Details of the grant award are below, but suffice it to say that the club works to bring new riding opportunities in many different ways!
Boulder, CO—September 2, 2008 Bikes Belong is thrilled to award four
grants to great projects in the summer funding cycle. These grant
awards will help construct community paths in Pennsylvania, Minnesota,
and Oklahoma—and build some beautiful Colorado singletrack!
Centre Region Bicycle Coalition—Musser Gap Greenway (State College, PA)
A $10,000 grant will support the Centre Region Bicycle Coalition's
Musser Gap Greenway project in State College, Pennsylvania. The
greenway will connect the Penn State campus and downtown State College
to the great trails and natural beauty of the Rothrock State Forest.
CRBC has partnered with the Clearwater Conservancy, a local land trust,
and Penn State University to execute their project, and they've
garnered tremendous community support. The partnership also expects to
receive a grant from the PA Department of Conservation and Natural
Resources to help fund the greenway.
