The Greenway Trail Grant program is an annual competitive small grant funding opportunity available to communities and not-for-profits within the designated Hudson River Valley Greenway area, which extends from Battery Park in Waterford, Saratoga County to Battery Park, Manhattan. The program offers funding for trail planning and design, construction and rehabilitation, education and interpretation. Emphasis is placed on trail projects that seek to implement the goals of the Draft Greenway Trail Vision Plan, particularly the construction of new segments of the Greenway Trail to connect existing portions, and improvements to currently designated Greenway Trails. This annual program has offered technical and financial assistance to municipalities and notfor profit organizations since 1995 and has provided over $1 million in funding for trail projects throughout the Hudson Valley.
