Come learn about the Saluda Grade Trail! The Saluda Grade Trail Conservancy will present the results of a year-long engineering and economic impact study to the public in two meetings, one in North Carolina and one in South Carolina.

These presentations will address:

• Findings from public input – community goals and concerns
• Rail to trail development process
• Existing condition of the trail corridor and bridges
• Trail design and safety recommendations from the engineering team
• Projected regional economic impacts

Conserving Carolina is one of three nonprofit partners spearheading the Saluda Grade Trail, along with Upstate Forever and PAL: Play, Advocate, Live Well. Together, these three nonprofits partners formed the Saluda Grade Trail Conservancy to advance the trail project.

The first meeting will take place on Aug. 6 at 6:00 at Polk County High School. The second meeting will take place Aug. 13 at 6:00 at Gramling United Methodist Church.
