Shapiro-Davis Administration Invests $500,000 to Support Trail Project in Easton
Easton Highline will connect downtown to regional trails, add green space, and support local businesses.
The Department of Conservation and Natural Resources recently awarded $82 million to 295 projects across 58 counties to expand outdoor access and strengthen communities.
DCNR is accepting Community Conservation Partnerships Program grant applications through April 30, 2026.
Lieutenant Governor Austin Davis and Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR) Secretary Cindy Adams Dunn announced a $500,000 investment toward the acquisition of approximately 17.57 acres in Easton and West Easton Borough, Northampton County, for development of the Easton Highline. After a federal grant for this project was rescinded, the Shapiro-Davis Administration stepped up to ensure this critical revitalization work continues, reaffirming Pennsylvania's commitment to investments that directly benefit communities and residents.
The grant is part of a nearly $82 million investment in more than 295 recreation and conservation projects across Pennsylvania - a significant statewide effort to create new recreational opportunities, expand outdoor access, protect natural resources, and strengthen local communities.
