Town of Franklinville Receives Grant--Will Extend/Improve Deep River Rail-Trail

The Town of Franklinville has been awarded a grant of $10,000 from Central Park NC and will use a significant portion of it to extend Franklinville's Deep River Rail-Trail eastward, to add facilities for a canoe/kayak put-in and to help with preparations for a future section of the rail-trail. Work on the trail extension will begin this summer.
