Next Steps
Although the Master Plan is complete, momentum for the Capital City to the Sea Trails is still growing. The Project Development & Environment (PD&E) Study for the US 98 Corridor, the #1 ranked project, was approved and will kickoff soon. The PD&E Study is the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) study required for federal funding eligibility. Additionally, the Apalachicola National Forest (ANF) is taking the lead to complete the NEPA documentation for Trout Pond Trail North from Bloxham Cuttoff Road (SR 276) north to Munson Slough. This website will be updated as information for these two projects becomes available.
