U.S. Senator Tim Kaine announced $100,000 in federal funding from the Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC) to help rehabilitate the Virginia Creeper Trail. This funding, along with additional funds from the state and local government, will be used to complete urgent repairs to Trestle 31 along the Virginia Creeper Trail. Kaine wrote a letter requesting this funding in July 2022. He visited the Virginia Creeper Trail in August 2022.
“I’ve hiked the Virginia Creeper Trail many times, and I know how critical it is for community recreation and the local economy. I’m glad these federal dollars are going to repair a trestle along the Virginia Creeper Trail to help ensure visitors can enjoy it for generations to come.”
