2012 Capital Campaign will Fund 34 Miles of New Trails
On November 9th, PATH officially launched a capital fundraising campaign to raise $11.4 million from private sources to help build another 34 miles of greenway trails in Georgia. The three year campaign focuses primarily on extending existing trails that are consistent with our twenty year vision to make Atlanta the most trail connected city in the U.S.
A major component of the 2012 campaign is a trail along Georgia 400 from the Atlanta BeltLine near Piedmont Road and Peachtree Creek to Loridans Drive, just south of the Georgia 400 toll booth.
