Funds are being sought to improve Chautauqua County’s trail system.
Jacob Bodway, who is the president of the Western New York Mountain Biking Association, is working with the county Parks Commission to implement a six year improvement project for the Overland Trails. Phases 1-3 would be for the West Overland Trails, while Phases 4-6 would focus on the East Overland Trails.
Ideally, Bodway would like $75,000 to $100,000 per phase and implement one phase a year through 2026. He has submitted a grant application to the Ralph Wilson Jr. Foundation through the Community Foundation of Greater Buffalo. He is also working with foundations in the county for matching funds.
