Welcome to Granger Paths!

Dear Friends,

Mark your calendars for 5th Annual 5K run/walk and introducing a new Community Fun Run. Date of this event is May 23rd, 2010. Please watch our website for all the details which will be posted on April 1, 2010

 

Plan

There are a number of things that need to happen in our community before any pathways can be planned and built. These include:

  • Survey our community for interest and ideas
  • Map out the possibilities for paths
  • Determine the feasibility of proposed paths
  • Keep our community involved and informed
Obtain financial funding to carry out the project by:
  • Applying for grants from private, state, and federal agencies.
  • Fundraising events including annual 5k Run/Walk and planning a future capital fundraising program.
  • Collaborating with county, state and federal officials.
  • Building on current support of community residents and businesses.

Mission

Friends of Granger Paths advocates for the development of community-wide pedestrian pathways. Educate the public about the health, community building, and environmental benefits of thes amenities.

Vision

  • a public realm that welcomes people of all ages and physical abilities
  • connectivity between neighborhoods and subdivisions
