City officials signed off on the contract for a rail to trail contract linking Johnson City and Elizabethton, TN. Elected officials and city's staff comment on the positive impact here:
Linking communities, sch00ls, parks, historic sites, and providing transportation choices is what we should all be advocating in today's world.
I am excited about this project and think it will be a good boom to the local economy. I am curious why the local municipalities don't use their inmates, or volunteers to help pull up the ties, rails and spikes, then take the metal to the Recycling center and cash in the rails and spikes to help fund the project faster.
