December 11, 2024 - Williamsport, PA
Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR) Secretary Cindy Adams Dunn visited Williamsport to celebrate a $649,900 grant to Lycoming County that supports Phase 1 of the development of the Susquehanna River Walk Extension and spotlight the Shapiro Administration's significant investment in trails across Pennsylvania. "When we invest in trails, we are really investing in communities - in the health of the people who live nearby, in their connections to neighboring towns, and in the businesses who provide services to the people who use and visit them," Secretary Dunn said. These investments underscore Governor Josh Shapiro's commitment to expanding recreational opportunities, conserving natural spaces, and strengthening the Commonwealth's communities - all while driving regional economic growth through projects that enrich cultural, civic, recreational, and historic places throughout Pennsylvania. This not only improves the quality of life for Pennsylvanians but also creates dynamic spaces that help to attract visitors to the Commonwealth.
