Maintaining the Trails

The executive director of one of the nonprofit agencies that receives General Purpose Excise Tax funds from the City of Sheridan recently discussed how those funds are used. Sheridan Media’s Ron Richter has the details.

The Sheridan Community Land Trust received $25,000 in GPET funds from the City for the current fiscal year that began on July 1. Land Trust Executive Director Brad Bauer said a portion of the GPET funds are used for trail maintenance of the Green Room Trail and Soldier Ridge Trail system.

Trail usage numbers show that recreationists are making good use out of the network of trails in Sheridan.

We’ll hear more from Bauer in a future story on other ways they use the GPET funds. You can find more on the Sheridan Community Land Trust, including maps of all of the trails Bauer mentioned and more by clicking here.
