BUILDING THE LONGEST RAIL TRAIL IN NEW ENGLAND
The New Norwottuck Network. A 501(c)3 set up to do trail betterments on the MCRT and connecting trails!
We will do tasks that make for a better trail experience and make for a better neighborhood or locale.
These can be done under two main themes. Historical Initiatives and Targeted Feasibility Studies.
​
HISTORICAL INITIATIVES
-
We will fund Historic Preservation projects along the MCRT corridor –and connecting trails.
-
Projects that restore/renovate/ or replace lost mile-markers or other railroad signaling equipment or signage along the MCRT or connecting trails will be given first priority.
-
Projects that involve a kiosk display along a then-and now theme. MuseumCroft is a company that does projects like this.
-
Projects that call out a forgotten industrial user in that locale.
​
SMALL QUICK TARGETED FEASIBILITIES STUDIES
-
Since the MCRT has already benefited from the DOT/DCR feasibility study circa 2019 we can then focus on some of the projects in the region that need a jump start. There are several projects that connect to the MCRT that can use this effort. We envision using the technical expertise and capability of Conservation Works LLC.
