The City of Manitowoc has received a rather large grant to help develop the area of land formerly known as the Elks Club property.
According to a release from Mayor Justin Nickels, the State of Wisconsin’s Knowles- Nelson Stewardship program gave the city $369,400 to develop trails on the Bayshore Development, with the final goal of connecting the Mariners Trail to Lincoln Park.
In the release, Mayor Nickels said the City “also allocated dollars to this trail system and a future pedestrian bridge over the Little Manitowoc River to connect to the Lincoln Park Zoo along with kayak launches and fishing stations.”
The developers of the property, Gary Underwood and Peter & Alex Allie, will be donating almost 11 acres of the property to remain in conservancy/parkland for the citizens of the city to use and appreciate.
