Trails Inc. has been working to get money to finish the bike trail in both Marshall and Hardin Counties.  The plan is to get the bike trail connected from Marshalltown to Steamboat Rock.  Recently Trail Inc. applied for a grant from the Iowa Department of Transportation.

That is Jeff Schneider, President of Trails Inc., and he says the next step is to apply for a Destination Iowa Grant.  Schneider says Hardin County also got a grant for the project, so a total of $3.2 Million will be awarded to the project next month. This project had the highest score of all the applications in this round.

Schneider is hoping that the trail makes its way to Albian in the next year or so.
