Wheatland approves $5,000 match for Warrior Trail, OKs Cal-Wheat Fun Days road closures

Hometown Pride representatives updated the Wheatland City Council on the Warrior Trail project and the council approved a $5,000 local match to support construction and design work.

Steve Rohling of Hometown Pride presented an update on the project and Mitch Christiansen described the trail design. The organization requested a $5,000 grant match; council approved Resolution 2027-06 to provide the funds. Council also approved road closures for Cal-Wheat Fun Days on Friday, Aug. 28 (motion to approve closures by Council Member Hicks, second by Council Member Kelly); both votes were recorded as all ayes among those present.

The approved match is local funding to support the Warrior Trail effort; the council did not specify the distribution or timing of the payment in the meeting record. Hometown Pride will coordinate the trail-design next steps with city staff.
