The Marion County Park District has used about $750,000 in grants, in kind donations, and local matching funds to purchase the land for a rail-trail, build a trailhead building, pave a parking lot, and begin to develop the first mile. In 2011 we anticipate needing an additional $155,000 in local matching funds, and we also need to set aside funds for future maintenance of the trail.
