The Shenandoah Valley Rail Trail project is set to receive $35 million in state funding thanks to budget amendments passed by the Virginia legislature on Wednesday.
The newly formed agency is tasked with developing and improving trail networks in the state.
The park said the trails are closed due to many black bears feeding on acorns in the area.
Virginia’s General Assembly appropriated a historic $89 million for a new Office of Trails earlier this year, yet no spending decisions beyond a first $5 million round have been made. Advocates and local officials alike are now wondering which projects will win funding and how soon the money could start flowing.
