Schoharie Creek Trail Study

Schoharie Area Long Term (SALT Development), a non-profit based in Schoharie County, NY, is taking the lead on an exciting community development project - the Schoharie Creek Trail Feasibility Study. This Feasibility Study will analyze the legal, economic, and environmental feasibility of a 38- mile multi-use recreational trail connecting communities from Esperance to Blenheim. SALT is working closely with the Schoharie County Community Development Agency, as well as regional stakeholders to leverage the resources needed to study the development of a trail running along the Schoharie Creek. The Study is slated to be completed by the end of 2017!

The Feasibility Study is being prepared with funding provided by the New York State Department of State under Title 11 of the Environmental Protection Fund. SALT is working as a subrecipient of Schoharie County and has been coordinating the Schoharie Creek Trail Feasibility Study since 2015. We've already raised and utilized $31,834.91 for project coordination and leveraged $19,615.25 worth of volunteer labor.  

The grant requires a 50/50 match, to which SALT will provide the services to match the funds. SALT needs $20,000 to cover the expenses and match requirements for project and volunteer coordination to ensure the Study is completed by 2017!

Please donate today to ensure the Feasibility Study is completed on time by December 2017 and we're able to move into the next phase of the project in 2018. To learn more, please check out our  Schoharie Creek Trail Feasibility page. Please contact our Project Coordinator if you have any additional questions at 518-702-5017.

SALT, Inc formed in 2011 in repsonse to the natural disaster caused by Hurricane Irene and Tropical Storm Irene. Now that most of the immediate recovery has been completed, SALT is focusing on long term recovery through community development.
