GBLC has been approved for a $115,000 grant towards construction of the new Riverfront Trail by the Community Preservation Committee. Final approval will be before the town's voters in May, 2018.
The new 1.25 mile-long trail will run between Bridge Street and Brookside Road and will accessible to all for passive recreation, such as walking and snowshoeing. Visitors will be able to see parts of the Housatonic River that have been hidden from view for many years.
