The Chesapeake Beach Railway Trail
Is Now Fully Funded!

Wahl, Ehrlich, Cumbo and Donovan

On September 24, Governor Robert Ehrlich came to Chesapeake Beach to announce the award of a $1.6 Million Federal Grant to complete the funding package for the Chesapeake Beach Railway Trail. I have been working on this project since 1989, the first year I was appointed to the Council. The Governor's announcement brings the accumulated funding to $3.3 Million, of which $2.7 million is cash. This award now means that we can begin construction on the project. I anticipate that construction will begin in 2005 and be concluded early in 2006.

This project will provide the residents of Richfield Station and Bayview Hills the ability to walk or bike to the center of the town, without having to travel on the state roads!
