SCENIC TRAILS REGIONAL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS
The
Florida’s Eden Plan is developing a series of
interlinked trails throughout North Florida as a
sustainable, asset-based economic development
initiative. The self-guided trail system will enhance
the role of our urban centers as visitor hubs and
expand visitor participation in the wealth of
opportunities available in our rural and wilderness
areas. The work of North Florida’s regional
coalitions in developing visitor awareness and trail
systems is integrated into this interlinked system,
giving visitors a seamless connection as they travel
throughout the region. The Scenic Trails program is
community based and focuses on local businesses,
cultural, heritage and recreation sites. |
