Knowles Nelson Grant funding shortfall

Lake Geneva

Summary

The grant-funded trail work is moving: an engineering task order goes to council May 26, and construction could finish by end of 2026. But the proposed state budget has no Knowles-Nelson money for next year, so advocates are pushing back, and the city may pursue a federal Recreational Trail Program grant instead.

Impact analysis

💰Financial impact

The grant covers the work, but path costs top $100 per linear foot, and how much trail gets built depends on the bids.

✅Who benefits

Residents get upgraded paved trails connecting Waverley Street to the skate park and pickleball courts.

⚠️Who could be affected

Some planned path segments may be delayed or dropped if bids come in higher than available funding.
