ALBANY — Parks & Trails New York announced Wednesday the recipients of $50,000 in grants to support communities participating in the Genesee Valley Trail Town initiative, including several in Allegany County.

“The Genesee Valley is truly one of the most stunning regions of New York State,” said Robin Dropkin, executive director of Parks & Trails New York. “This funding will not only help local communities showcase the unique attractions, services, and amenities available to both visitors and residents, but will also allow them to better promote the diverse experiences that this region has to offer.”

The grants will enable the ten Genesee Valley Trail Towns to take advantage of visitation to the Genesee Valley Greenway and other outdoor recreational resources in the area, foster place-making efforts, create safer streets for cyclists and pedestrians in Trail Town communities, and implement projects identified in the Genesee Valley Trail Town Initiative’s community action plans.

• Town of Hume ($5,000) — Demolition of former tennis court in town-owned park space directly adjacent to the greenway in preparation for the site to be used as a community gateway, and the purchase and installation of bicycle racks at three locations.
