A five-mile, multi-purpose trail will connect six downtown and East Toledo neighborhoods, corporate campuses, small businesses, parks and cultural institutions. The project is being funded through a transformational public-private partnership including support from the voters of Lucas County, local, state and federal grants, tax increment financing, and corporate and private philanthropy. Individuals and corporations have a unique opportunity to help this vision for a world-class riverfront come to fruiting
