Great Guernsey Trail Extension and Turner Avenue Streetscape/Trailhead
On May 9, 2024 Governor Mike Dewine, through the Appalachian Community Grant Program, announced that The Guernsey County Community Development Corp.’s application to extend The Great Guernsey Trail to downtown Cambridge has been funded for $4.5 million. The funding also includes money to create parking and a trailhead at the Turner Ave. lot owned by the City of Cambridge. The extension will add 3 miles to our current 7 miles for a total round trip of 20 miles and take the trail from the Corduroy Rd. Trailhead, to downtown Cambridge via Ohio Avenue and Byesville Rd.
This is a HUGE win for the CDC, the City and all of Guernsey County. But it couldn’t have been done without the help of the Community Improvement Corporation (CIC) and its executive director, William Arnett, OMEGA, funding from the State of Ohio, and the support of local leaders.
Stay tuned for updates!
