Valley County Seeks Public Input for Two Grant Applications

Valley County intends to apply for two Idaho Department of Parks and Recreation grants in January of 2025. 

Grant 1 is seeking funding from the Recreational Trails Program grant to complete Phase 2 of the Samson Trail Pathway project. Grant 2 is seeking funding from the Off Road Motor Vehicle Fund to install a double vault toilet at the Francis Wallace Parking Lot.

Grant 1: The County is applying for $250,000 to continue building 1.2 miles of the non-motorized Samson Trail Pathway (Phase 2) and complete a few final upgrades on Phase 1 of the project. The County received an Idaho Transportation Department grant from the Child Pedestrian Safety Program amounting to $250,000 that will be used to match the IDPR grant (if awarded). The County is also providing the crushed asphalt to improve the finished surface on the length of the trail. Click here to view the project area map.

Grant 2: The County is also applying for an IDPR grant to install a badly needed vault toilet to improve services at the Francis Wallace Parking Lot in the amount of $72,112. The County is providing an in-kind match for the project valued at $4500 and consisting of excavation, sand and gravel, and backfill for the installation.

The County invites the public to provide comments between December 1st and December 20th, 2024, for each of these projects prior to submittal of the applications.
