LETTERS OF SUPPORT FOR THE OHIO RIVER TRAIL

OHIO RIVER TRAIL NEEDS LETTERS OF SUPPORT!


The Ohio River Trail could use your help with Letters of Support for the trail. Many of you are already aware of our fundraising campaign and that $12 million dollars has already been identified to build the trail. To complete the fundraising campaign we must raise $4 million in addition to the $12 million from private donations.


To help raise these final dollars we are applying for grants that specifically target hike & bike trails. Some of these grants would like to see letters of support from local businesses and residents to show how the trail will help their businesses and impact the region.

Our goal is to collect as many trail support letters to show how the trail will impact the community, the region and local businesses and tell the story regarding why it is important to get it done now.


Please help us get the trail built! If you decide to write a letter of support, please address your letter to The Ohio River Trail Project and answer one or all of the following questions:




1. How the trail will increase/impact bicycle ridership in the area and the region.


2. How the trail will impact small businesses. If you own a business, describe how it will affect your business.


3. Why you think it is important to build the trail now and how it will improve the quality of life for local residents.



Send your letters on letterhead, stationary or just on regular paper. You can email them to me at tlubic@gmail.com or you can mail them to: The Ohio River Way, PO Box 43261, Cincinnati, OH 45243. Thanks so much for your support.
