Granite Quarry supports Thread Trail project | Salisbury, NC ...

GRANITE QUARRY — The town of Granite Quarry became the third Rowan County municipality Tuesday night to pass a resolution in support of the Carolina Thread Trail.
Granite Quarry joins Landis and Salisbury in supporting the Thread Trail, aimed at creating a network of greenways and conservation corridors connecting 15 counties in North and South Carolina.
The Granite Quarry Board of Aldermen approved the resolution unanimously.
The resolution says Granite Quarry is “committed in concept to working with neighboring communities and with the Carolina Thread Trail to plan, design and build a system of trails that will connect our communities, people and special points of regional interest for years to come.”
Randi Gates, one of two community coordinators for Carolina Thread Trail, said the non-profit project, launched in 2007, already has raised $16.8 million in cash donations, $3.77 million in land contributions and $17.8 million in public funding commitments.
Eleven counties — Rowan County has balked at supporting the trail network in the past — have adopted master plans with identified Thread routes. In addition, 14 corridors are under development, 80 miles of the Thread already are open and 64 miles of connecting sidewalks are in place.
Catawba Land Conservancy serves as the lead agency for the Thread project with Foundation for the Carolinas serving as a philanthropic partner.
Gates said the Thread Trail also aims at celebrating the region’s history, conserving local lands and providing free recreation by connecting local parks and open spaces.
Greenways and trails help with economic development, increase home values and have environmental benefits, she said.
Gates emphasized that trail development is community driven, relying on local staff people and citizens. She acknowledged that if she can’t get Rowan County government on board, she will be attempting instead to garner the support of its communities and make them eligible for funding.
