THE 30-SECOND BRIEF
FREDA received an update on the Shenandoah Rail Trail initiative, where the Commonwealth plans to acquire a former Norfolk Southern rail corridor and convert it into a multi-use trail. Estimated trail conversion cost is about $164 million, with $35 million in state funds planned for corridor acquisition before pursuing federal funding. This long-horizon project will require engineering, design, construction, environmental, and tourism-related services once ownership and funding are secured.
Project is in early planning; trail design and construction procurements will follow corridor acquisition and federal funding awards.
