U.S. Department of Agriculture Rural Development State Director for Michigan Brandon Fewins today joined community leaders in celebrating a ground-breaking for the Marquette Greenway in New Buffalo.
“In addition to essential infrastructure, USDA is also helping to create opportunities for rural recreation,” said Fewins. “The scope of this project, its many partners and the coordination between them are an example of the great things we can accomplish together.”
USDA Rural Development provided a $99,000 Rural Business Development Grant to Berrien County to cover the costs of surveying and engineering the non-motorized trail that will connect New Buffalo with east Chicago. The 60-mile route passes through five counties and fifteen municipalities as well as a national park.
