The Metropolitan Area Planning Agency says the city will be "receiving a financial boost" to help build a three-mile-system of trails.
The grant comes from Iowa Department of Natural Resources through its Resource Enhancement and Protection project which is intended "for county conservation boards for projects that help establish natural areas, encourage outdoor recreation and resource management."
The trails will be intended for pedestrians and cyclists alike and will also include four bridges as well.
