The State of Alaska (Department of Commerce, Community, and Economic Development) has awarded a grant to the City of Homer for the Beluga Slough Trail Reconstruction project in the amount of $448,116.
The City’s grant condition responsibilities have been met (design of the project is complete using HART funds, existing trail removal scheduled for later this summer by volunteers/Parks and Recreation staff).
Construction of this project is expected to begin in early September. The project will be complete by October, 2012.
