County Receives Grant for Finchville Park Recreational Trails

 

 

SHELBYVILLE,KY. Shelby County Judge-Executive Rob Rothenburger announced that Governor Ernie Fletcher has selected Shelby County to receive a grant in the amount of $36,310 for recreational trails in the Finchville Park.

 

The 8 feet wide asphalt trail once completed will be approximately one mile long and trace the perimeter of the park and will also include an asphalt parking area capable of handling 30 vehicles to accommodate walkers and bicycle enthusiasts.

 

“Health and Fitness is paramount to our community and we hope that with the addition of the walking and biking trail, that everyone will take advantage of this or any of the walking trails offered by the Shelby County Parks and Recreation Department” stated Rothenburger.

 

According to Parks and Recreational Director Clay Cottongim, he “anticipates that the project could begin as early as the fall of this year with completion in the first part of 2008, just in time for walkers and bikers to enjoy the arrival of spring.
