DESCRIPTION:The Indiana DNR\, Next Level Trails (NLT) and the City of Kenda
 llville opened the recently completed Grand Army of the Republic Highway T
 rail in Kendallville yesterday.\n\nThe 0.90-mile asphalt multi-use trail w
 as constructed by the city with help from a $428\,784 NLT grant. The award
  was announced by Gov. Eric J. Holcomb in March 2021 as part of the second
  round of NLT. Partners for the project included Murray Roush Enterprises 
 and Noble County Trails.\n\n“Trails are a vital quality of life investme
 nt\,” said DNR director Dan Bortner. “The DNR is proud to partner with
  cities like Kendallville to make important connections within the communi
 ty and region at large.”\n\nThe completed project adds two segments of t
 rail. The eastern segment extends the Dowling Street Trail from Allen Chap
 el Road to Walmart on U.S. 6. The western segment connects to the existing
  Fishing Line Trail\, a regional trail that connects Kendallville to Rome 
 City.\n\nIn April\, Rome City was awarded a third-round NLT grant of $880\
 ,800 to extend its portion of the Fishing Line Trail by 1.46 miles. The Ro
 me City project is anticipated to be complete by the end of 2023\, bringin
 g the total length of the Fishing Line Trail to nearly 13 miles.\n\n“Thi
 s project is just the latest ‘link in the chain’ in our efforts to pro
 vide residents and visitors to Kendallville resources for them and their f
 amilies safe and healthy outdoor recreational opportunities\,” said Mayo
 r Suzanne Handshoe. “The City of Kendallville deeply appreciates the Ind
 iana Department of Natural Resources’ commitment to those same goals by 
 offering the Next Level Trails Program to communities across the state.”
 \n\nAs part of Gov. Eric J. Holcomb’s Next Level Connections initiative\
 , NLT is the largest infusion of trails funding in state history. The $150
  million program is administered by the DNR and facilitates critical trail
  connections within and between Hoosier communities.\n\nIncluding the Gran
 d Army of the Republic Highway Trail\, 12 of the 73 NLT projects are compl
 ete\, totaling 38.7 miles of trail.\n\nMore information about NLT is at on
