The City of Wabasha, the City of Kellogg, Wabasha County, and Greenfield Township have formed the River Trail Joint Powers Board to work on a project for a future bridge over the Zumbro River and trail link connecting the communities. Working cooperatively together, they applied for and recently received notification that they have been approved for a $1.5 million grant award in federal aid from the Transportation Alternatives Program. The program supports projects that help create walking and biking opportunities. The approved funding is programmed in 2028; however, the Joint Powers Board is working to construct the project in an earlier year as well as other potential funding opportunities.
The funds will help construct a multi-use trail and trail bridge from Winona Ave near Kellogg over the Zumbro River connecting to 645th St.
“We are thrilled about the grant award,” says Sue McNallan, Council Member for the City of Kellogg. “We definitely can see this project becoming a reality”.
” The project has a lot of good momentum and I am glad to have the County lending a hand towards supporting the project,” said Michael Plante, Wabasha County Administrator. Kellogg-Wabasha Trail Connection
