| Since 2002, The Great Rivers
Greenway District has implemented many projects across the region, often in
partnership with municipal, governmental and public agencies, as well as
private and nonprofit organizations. The blueprint for The Great Rivers
Greenway District is to develop a region-wide system of greenways, parks and
trails that will encircle the region. Called, The River Ring, the 600-mile web
of more than 45 greenways will span two states and an area of 1,216 square
miles with 1.6 million residents. In addition to creating a vibrant, more
connected region with thriving green spaces and flourishing natural habitats,
new opportunities will result in strong economic development. |
