Trail project tensions rise over local backing and funding
Planning officials urge Henderson and Transylvania counties to pass a resolution showing local support for the Ecusta Trail project. City Manager John Conner cautions that funding depends on privatization and Watco’s decision to make trail development possible. The plan envisions trailheads near the city Operations Center with Phase 1 valued around 2.125 million dollars, with city participation still undetermined. The Friends of Ecusta Trail proceed with outreach, scheduling meetings, and mailings to 350 nearby property owners to drum up support and donations.
