## Resource

A major $71 million trail project connecting Proctor, Pittsford, and West Rutland is nearing a decision point after a new study reveals the preferred plan—a 23-mile loop for recreation and transit. A public meeting on September 23rd will let residents weigh in before officials decide next steps, with funding and cost concerns looming large as even the cheapest option clocks in at $18 million. The towns have already spent only what was needed for the feasibility study, funded by a grant and small local contributions. Community input could shape whether this ambitious, multi-use trail becomes reality. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
