Signs to identify Finger Lakes Trail through Chenango
NORWICH – Drivers will soon come across new, green road crossing signs directing hikers along the 72 miles of the Finger Lakes Trail that cuts through portions of Chenango County.
County planners and economic developers on Tuesday approved $2,000 for road signs, hiker orientation signs and a lean-to. Finger Lakes Trail Bullthistle Hikers Club President Ed Sidote said a new metal roof and timbers were needed for the lean-to in the Michigan State Forest, near East Pharsalia.
Trail volunteers build and maintain 30 temporary shelters across New York State during three weeks of every summer. The state Department of Environmental Conservation provides the logs and, locally, inmates from Camp Pharsalia build and repair the structure.
“The trail brings in a lot of people to our county,” Planning and Economic Development Committee Chairperson Linda E. Natoli, R-City of Norwich, said upon recommending the funding. “This is one of those ‘feel good’ things our committee can do.”
Sedote said he recently hosted hikers from Illinois and Virginia at his home in Norwich.
The funds will come from the committee’s infrastructure, promotion and business development account, which stands at $14,650 as of June 12. Taxpayer dollars totaling $90,000 flow into the fund annually. So far in 2007, lawmakers have approved $2,500 for Cooperative Extension; $16,650 for Chenango County Agriculture Development Council; $50,000 for Chase Memorial Nursing Home Engineering; and $1,800 for the Chenango County Federation of Sportsmen’s Clubs and Conservationists.
