Governor to Cut Ribbon on New Greenway Trail

For those of you who love to walk, run, rollerblade, horseback ride, or bike, Cardinal Greenway is about to officially open fourteen new miles of Greenway. Seven paved miles and seven additional equestrian miles extend the Cardinal from CR 534, near Prairie Creek Reservoir, just past Hwy 36 to the town of Losantville.

On Thursday, April 19, 2007, Governor Mitch Daniels, will cut the ribbon to open this new section.

"It's a great honor to host the Governor," said Teresa Willman, Cardinal Greenway Board President.

"His presence underscores the priority he places on trails as a way to continue to boost the economic impact that trails bring with them," she said.
In May, 2006, Governor Daniels doubled trail funding and often speaks about trails when he discusses economic impact. He has been known to say "we don't have beaches or mountains, but Indiana is great trail country and anything we can build to attract more people to our state, or to keep young people from leaving our state, I'm all for it." (paraphrased)

For more information on the ribbon-cutting event, or trails in general, contact Lenette Freeman, Cardinal Greenway Executive Director.
