“Found at the crossroads of rail, highways, and trails, the historic Village of Kalkaska has been on a six-year community development journey. Rotary Charities has provided support at many critical junctures, most recently with a $50,000 Assets for Thriving Communities grant that will support a collaborative effort with the North Country Trail and other partners to re-route the North Country Trail and create a non-motorized accessible trailhead and boardwalk along the Boardman River. The project is an integral part of the DDA’s long-term focus to connect area non-motorized trails to the Downtown District, providing an asset to trail hikers and nature enthusiasts of all abilities and bringing economic activity to the downtown area.
“This is a watershed moment,” said Cash Cook, Director of the Kalkaska Downtown Development Authority.”
