Jackson County Wins Over $430,000 State Grant

Agency - North Carolina Parks and Recreation Trust

Jackson County recently received a $435,000 grant from the North Carolina Parks and Recreation Trust Fund.

The grant will go towards building the first phase of a long-standing greenway along the Tuckasegee River the summer. The county had previously covered $80,000 in funds for the right-of-way construction for the section. A pedestrian bridge will be built so that the stretch of greenway can be accessed from the terminus at both Monteith Gap Road and Locust Creek.
