During a special meeting of the Floyd County Fiscal Court, officials discussed steps to soon begin work on a 56 mile horse trail project proposed for the Dewey Lake area. Floyd County was recently awarded a windfall grant totaling more than $1 million for the project, including improvements to the trail and surrounding recreational areas, which is considered a potential economic boost that will generate thousands of dollars for businesses in the area. To maintain oversight of the funding, the fiscal court agreed all contracts and bids would be subject to approval by the court.
