$27 million hiking trail proposed in Tupelo
SUMMARY: Local leaders in Tupelo are proposing the Kings Creek Greenway, a $27 million, nine-mile hiking and biking trail. This new trail aims to enhance Tupelo’s outdoor appeal, complementing attractions like the Natchez Trace National Scenic Trail. Designed to accommodate hikers, runners, bikers, and parents with strollers, the Greenway would connect various areas of the city, offering convenient stops along the route. While the project holds potential for transforming the community, it still requires city council approval and funding through federal grants, ensuring no taxpayer dollars are utilized. The initiative is aimed at elevating Tupelo as a recreational destination.
It’s a proposal that would give the city of Tupelo a 9-mile walking track all the way across the city.
