$10,000 to Greenway Trail

The Shelby County Parks Foundation has received a $10,000 donation so construction will definitely begin this fall along Clear Creek off North Seventh Street where the Citizens Union Bank Community Park sign has been erected. That was the final amount needed to match the $100,000 grant from the state.

The funds came from Dan Burk and his wife, Linda Hill, owners of Farrier Product Distribution on Haven Hill Road.

The parks foundation held a fund-raiser for the Greenway Trail in June that allowed adults to bicycle along county roads and for families to bicycle in the park and nearby neighborhoods. Those events brought in $5,000 and attracted an anonymous $40,000 gift. Burk said, “We decided we wanted to help.”
