Old Fort Park and rail Complex: Phase I & II - Funded by a PARTF Grant, McDowell County, the Town of Old Fort, McDowell Trails Association, and Friends of Fonta Flora State Trail were awarded $660,000 for Phase I, which will include 100 parking spaces, restrooms, a picnic pavilion, and a dog park. In 2023, Friends of Fonta Flora State Trail was awarded a $125,000 RTP Grant for a 1.1-mile trail extension to connect USFS Gateway Trails and to get pedestrian and bicycle traffic off a dangerous section of Highway 70. Finally, Friends of Fonta Flora State Trail was awarded a CTP Land Acquisition Grant worth $88,000 to purchase a crucial piece of land for the trailhead entry road. 2. Planning the Trail: McDowell County Feasibility Study - in 2022, Friends of Fonta Flora State Trail was awarded a $90,000 Dogwood Health Trust Grant for a feasibility study on unplanned segments of the Fonta Flora State Trail in McDowell County. Since McDowell County does not have a designated trail planner, Friends of Fonta Flora State Trail stepped in to help. The feasibility study has identified a 33-mile linear corridor as the preferred route of the Fonta Flora State Trail in McDowell County and will enter into the public input phase of the project in late 2023. 3. Retrofitting Infrastructure: Canal Bridge - The Canal Bridge Project in Burke County will connect the two sections of Lake James State Park, providing safe pedestrian and bike access to a locally used unsanctioned route. A road diet will accommodate a 5 ft. raised concrete sidepath and the bike safety barrier to the existing bridge. Canal Bridge has long served as a connective roadblock to building an additional 4 miles of Fonta Flora State Trail. Friends of Fonta Flora State Trail is partnering with Burke Couty and Overmountain Victory State Trail on this co-located opportunity. 3353 3353 X Margaret White President 1.00 0 Steven H Bush Vice President 5.00 0 Jennifer Billstrom Treasurer 10.00 0 Shane Thomas Prisby Secretary 5.00 0 Steven Charles Pierc Director 1.00 0 Beth Heile Director 10.00 0 Mary Lucille Crown Director 1.00 0 Clyde Zeno McSwain III Director 1.00 0 Robert Benfield Director 1.00 0 William Edwin Phillips Director 1.00 0 Timothy Todd Johnson Director 1.00 0 Mechele Renee Director 1.00 0 Heather Cotton Director 1.00 0 Sandra N Aguirre Director 1.00 0 Dave Keiser Director 1.00 0 Mark Cobb Director 1.00 0 Charles Michael Sobol Director 1.00 0 Robert Carl Hunter Director 1.00 0 false false false false false false false 0 0 0 false 0 0 false Dave Keiser 674 N Reece Dr Arden NC 28704 6156683728 false false false false false false false false false false false NONE NONE true X 188327 95068 119878 403273 0 0 188327 95068 119878 403273 0 403273 40 6 7 53 0 0 403326 X 0.00000 RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Other Expenses.1001 Advertising and Promotion $3962 Other Expenses.1002 Office Expenses $15 Other Expenses.1005 Travel $11984 Other Expenses.1012 Insurance $1026 Other Expenses.1 Meeting Expense $2701 Other Expenses.2 Website Develop&Mainten $2655 Other Expenses.3 Software and Computer $2147 Other Expenses.4 Special Event Expenses $1764 Other Expenses.5 Program Expenses $1594 Other Expenses.7 Board Expenses $616 Other Expenses.8 Continuing Education $464 Other Expenses.9 Merchant Service Fees $441 Other Expenses.10 Dues & subscriptions $385 Other Expenses.11 Trail Const & Mainte Expense $295 Other Expenses.12 Rent $234 Other Expenses.13 Telecommunications $206 Other Expenses.14 Meals & Entertainment $193 Other Expenses.15 Bank Fees $122 Other Expenses.17 Miscellaneous Expenses $75 Other Expenses.18 Licenses & Permits $75 Total Liabilities.1 Accrued Payroll Taxes - Beginning $0 Accrued Payroll Taxes - Ending $2532
