The Clinton City Council will be taking the next step in what will become a long term route to a multi-purpose pathway around the community and county.
City Administrator Tim Followell explains the City Council has approved the submitting of an application for a very competitive grant that would get the ball rolling.
Followell says they plan to promote the connecting of a series of sidewalks to local grade schools in Clinton. He says that will be sidewalk improvements and parts of a bike path.
Followell points out this is a project that will take years and years to complete, but he says the only way it can become a reality for the next generation of residents is if it gets started now.
