Trails Inc. has submitted the trail grant to the Federal Government in hopes to finish the bike trail from Marshalltown to Steamboat Rock.  Jeff Schneider is a Marshalltown City Councilor and involved with Trails Inc. He shares some details about the grant before it was submitted.

Schneider says they had dozens of people contributing to the writing of the grant.  People were helping review the grant, sending letters of support, finding data, anything to help push it forward.  Schneider mentions when he expects to hear back

This project in total will cost $19million, and through this grant Trails Inc is asking for $12 million from the federal government.  This would allow for the trial to be finished in the next 5 years.
