Funding mechanism undetermined at present time
After spending nearly an hour discussing the pros and cons and hearing from those both in favor and opposed, the Marshall County Board of Supervisors voted 2-1 to approve a $2 million contribution toward a federal grant application for the paving of the Iowa River’s Edge Trail project from Eldora to Marshalltown during Wednesday morning’s regular meeting.

President Jeff Schneider and Vice President Bruce Johnson presented to the board, and Schneider noted that currently, about two miles of the trail are already paved in Marshall County from the city to Radio Tower Road. According to Schneider, it would provide 55 distinct miles of ridable and walkable trails in Marshall and Hardin counties.
