The Upland Area Gre-
enways Association is
pleased to announce that
the $15,000 of funds
needed to complete the
purchase of the Deta-
more home on Main to
enlarge the Upland trail
head have been identi-
fied. The UAGA thanks
the Detamore family for
the gracious support of
the UAGA by allow-
ing us to purchase this
home (effective May 26,
2017). We are so grateful
to all of our donors and
friends who have made
this purchase possible.
Great progress is excit-
ing!
We continue to wait to
hear from the State of In-
diana about our $200,000
RTP grant award. As part
of that process, we have
agreed not to do any
work on the removal of
the home or establish-
ment of the trail head un-
til their decision is final.
The final decision should
be announced sometime
in July. That grant we
applied for consisted of
a trail made of of com-
pressed stone that will go
west from our trail head
along the train tracks
for ½ of a mile and then
south for ½ of a mile. We
continue to raise funds
more money to be able to
pave this new trail.
We are feeling very
blessed to partner with
the residents and organi-
zations of Upland in this
exciting development.

over 4 years - Per Flat (8

In conjunction with the
festival, the Committee
