Expanding access and safety along White River and Prairie Creek Reservoir
MUNCIE, Ind. (WISH) — The Ball Brothers Foundation is enhancing outdoor access and safety in east central Indiana with new grants as part of the Project Blueways initiative.
A news release issued Wednesday said $90,000 are funding a new canoe and kayak launch in Muncie, $5,000 goes to 69 mile markers for river safety, and $40,000 will pay for a 1.2-mile Americans with Disabilities Act-accessible trail extension at the Prairie Creek Reservoir.
The goal of the grants is to strengthen connections between people and waterways in the region.
The Project Blueways initiative focuses on improving recreational access to local waterways, promoting safety, and enhancing the natural environment for community enjoyment. By adding 69-mile markers along the river, the initiative seeks to improve safety for those navigating the waterways.
