We have just learned that the City of Duluth has won a $250,000 Legacy grant from the State of Minnesota for the Duluth Traverse!
Merry Christmas to us!!!!!!
Extra special thanks to Daryl Peterson for writing the grant, Hansi Johnson of IMBA for getting some very important people to write support letters and for our awesome supporters in the City of Duluth like Matt Decur of Engineering who helped us through the process.
Our success in winning this grant goes all the way back to the IMBA Trail Care Crew two years ago when Hansi Johnson invited so many key land managers and gov't officials, including Andrew Korsberg, the man who received and reviewed our Legacy grant application, to the Better Lives Through Trails presentation where we unveiled the Duluth Traverse map. Everyone who needed to hear our vision was in that room and now in 2012 we are going to take a big chunk out of making this a reality.
