Update on Washington-Greenville Greenway
The Washington-Greenville Greenway committee met in July and September. Bob Henkel, of Washington's planning board, has prepared a presentation about the trail for the City Council's September meeting, to update the City Council on expected costs and route. The planned Phase 1 will extend from downtown Washington, partially on the abandoned rail corridor, to a prospective park site in western Beaufort County, a distance of about 8 miles. The estimated cost for Phase 1 is for the purchase a 30’ wide trail easement for nearly 8 miles at $6K – $10K an acre or between $180 to $300K. The City of Greenville is also interested in connecting. The committee is working on getting Phase 1 of the project included in the latest Transportation Improvements Project (TIP) list for ranking.
