Funds will be expended over the next five years to match state and federal grants to connect 24 miles of trails included in Phase I of the CROWN network. Tri-State Trails has now assumed the responsibility of fiscal agent and fiscal sponsor for the CROWN Capital Campaign, which was formerly managed by Green Umbrella.
