The
project includes a 1 mile stretch from City
Park, past the Wheeler House to the Wheeler Avenue Bridge.
The path would extend into Beloit.
The estimated cost of the project is $500,000.00. South Beloit's
Commissioner of Finance says the plan is to not use tax dollars.
City of South Beloit Finance Commissioner Alice Schoonover
said "we should hear in September on whether or not we get the grant or
not and hopefully we can move on it right away. I have 3 more years left of
holding office and I would like to see it accomplished within those three
years."
The
group Beloit 20/20
has said they'll contribute $40,000 if the grant is approved.
