An announcement from the Elk River Trail Foundation:
We are thrilled to share that we are one of 343 grantees selected to receive a 2024 AARP Community Challenge grant from AARP Livable Communities and AARP West Virginia! We are incredibly proud that AARP selected us for this investment to make our trail towns of Sutton, Gassaway, Clay and Clendenin and the other communities along the Elk River Trail more livable for residents of all ages. Through this grant we will purchase and install thirteen new benches along the 73- mile Elk River Trail in Clay and Braxton Counties. The benches will add to the five very popular benches installed in Kanawha County that were funded with a grant from the Kanawha Coalition for Community Health Improvement.
