LULA, Ga. (AP) - A northern Georgia town will use a state grant to expand its walking trails system.
The Times of Gainesville reports that the Georgia Department of Natural Resources awarded a $79,000 grant to the city of Lula. It was one of 14 to receive a total of $2.3 million in grants from the DNR.
Lula's application was chosen out of 46 applicants.
City manager Dennis Bergin says the town plans to develop 0.6 miles of new trail construction for walking trails. There will be one trailhead facility, featuring Braille signage with slope and grade specifications, and two trailside facilities with an exercise station.
The new trail will link with another walking trail connected to existing recreational amenities including a pavilion, picnic tables, playground area and restrooms.
