Boone OKs Greenway extension near new WHS

General — EDITOR on February 26, 2009 at 1:50 pm

By Frank Ruggiero

The Boone Town Council hit the trail by approving a greenway connector near the new Watauga High School.

The town will commit $96,000 toward the trail, which follows a sewer easement unfit for development toward the Perkinsville area of town.

The funding will likely be drawn from an obesity prevention grant, and the decision follows suit with that made by the Watauga County commissioners, who disagreed with the county school board’s recommendation for an alternative path that veered further from the high school site.
