Firefly Trail Inc. recently presented a $200,000 check to Woodville Mayor Phil Brock and Greene County leaders to assist with the city’s portion of local matching funds required to build the trail through Woodville.

The non-competitive, 12th annual Firefly Trail Ticket to Ride, presented by Athens Physical Therapy, returns March 25, and is expected to attract about 250 cyclists to roads and towns from Athens to Union Point – or Union Point to Athens. Ticket to Ride celebrates progress on the Firefly Trail and builds momentum to connect segments already complete or under construction.

A key multi-city project was given a go-ahead for TSPLOST funding from the county’s FY2022 budget at last week’s Greene County Board of Commissioners meeting. The board approved the use of TSPLOST funding to increase the county’s funding for the popular Firefly Trail.
