CINCINNATI, OH – Today, U.S. Senator Rob Portman (R-OH) participated in a groundbreaking ceremony for the Beechmont Connector, the final extension of the Little Miami Scenic Trail at the Beechmont Avenue.
“I was pleased to join members of the community to celebrate the groundbreaking of the Beechmont Connector. The Beechmont Connector is a critical project that will help us link a number of the outstanding trails that run through our communities, including the Little Miami Scenic Trail, the Ohio River Trail, and the Lunken Airport Trail,” said Portman. “The Beechmont Connecter will provide access to the Little Miami trail for more than 300,000 residents who live within five miles of the trail. It’s a great investment in our infrastructure, tying together some of the area’s best trails and making them all more usable for everyone.”
NOTE: This project is funded in large part by a $5 million federal Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement grant awarded through the Ohio-Kentucky-Indiana Regional Council of Governments.
