The Platteville Common Council on Feb. 24 voted to approve Resolution 26-04, authorizing the city to reapply for a Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources trail-maintenance grant to repair the circular trail in Mountain View Park.
Staff explained the DNR program allows awards up to $100,000 and that the city would request funding for repairs at up to seven identified locations (approximately 25% of the trail’s length). The grant is structured as an 80/20 match; staff said the city would need to budget the 20% match (up to $20,000) in the 2027 budget if the grant is awarded.
“The DNR is once again open enrollment for the trail grant… Resolution 26-04 would be for an 80/20 grant to maintain the circular trail in Mountain View Park,” staff said. Council moved, seconded and approved the resolution by roll call.
Enclosed materials included a map and a copy of the proposed resolution; construction—if funded—would be scheduled in 2027 according to staff’s presentation.
