7.A. Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development Greenways, Trails and Recreation Grant Program:
In 2023 the West Hanover Township received a $48,000 grant from the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources to develop a Master Trail Plan for West Hanover Township. This grant award required West Hanover Township to provide a match of $48,000. The township budgeted for this, but we also applied for a Department of Community and Economic Development Greenways, Trails and Recreation grant for $48,000 to cover the match.

The township was informed this week that we will be receiving $80,000 from the DCED grant program to cover our required match as well as an additional $32,000.
The Township Supervisors and staff are excited to begin this process of developing a Master Trail Plan to identify areas where trails can be constructed connecting neighborhoods to parks and other recreation areas of the township.
