12/18/13 - The state Department of Natural resources has informed Hamburg Township that it has been approved for grant money to finish the Lakeland Trail. The township was notified within the past week that the $125,400 in grant money would be available, contingent on the legislature appropriating the money and the governor signing the appropriation. The township is now working with the Livingston County Road Commission to get the project to bid in time to be completed in the summer. The planned project will make the Lakeland Trail between Hall and Hamburg Roads identical to other portions within the township, with a 12-foot-wide paved area and adjoining shoulders. It will also create a parking lot at Winklehaus Park and create deceleration and access lanes to make it easier to access from Hamburg Road. Unadilla Township also received grant funding from the DNR recently to improve the Lakeland Trail, specifically the trailhead in downtown Gregory. That project is also expected to be completed by September of 2014. (TD)
