Four-county trail awaits Fulton's OK

Final approval of a master plan for a 98-mile trail system connecting four counties could come early next year with a vote by the Fulton County Commission.

The Coweta County Commission last week approved without discussion the concept of the trail, which would run along the Chattahoochee River from south Fulton to Coweta. Earlier, Douglas and Carroll counties OK'd the idea.

With an approved plan, local jurisdictions can seek federal, state and private construction money. The estimated cost of the trail is $26 million. It would connect state and county parks and private attractions.

It also would connect to the city of Palmetto and the three proposed villages in the Chattahoochee Hill Country development plan.
