Missouri Department of Natural Resources (DNR) and State Parks will host a public meeting at City Hall on Thursday, March 3, 2020, at 6:00 p.m. to answer questions and discuss possible grant opportunities and maintenance plans connected to the Rock Island Trail.
The meeting will include information about trail development and operations, public safety, landowner and real estate topics, grant opportunities and future partnership opportunities.
On Dec. 14, 2021, the Missouri Department of Natural Resources accepted ownership of the Rock Island Corridor. The department plans to develop the 144 miles of the former Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railroad corridor, which stretches from Windsor to Beaufort, Missouri, into a public recreational trail. Missouri Central Railroad Company, a wholly owned subsidiary of Ameren Missouri, donated the property at no cost to the state.
