As reported in today's Palladium-Item, the Cardinal Greenway has received a $900,000 grant from the Indiana Department of Natural Resources:

The Indiana Department of Natural Resources will distribute the money to 28 projects, resulting in 104 miles of new trails and land being bought for an anticipated 26 miles of future trail development. Currently the state trail system covers about 400 miles.

Two local projects get a big boost through the state money. The Cardinal Greenway in northwest Wayne County receives $900,000 and Whitewater Canal Trails near Metamora $300,000.

The youth of the Richmond Church of the Brethren invite the community to participate in a prayer walk and peace vigil! In honor of the International Day of Prayer for Peace, please join us at Mary Scott Park (NW 7th and NW A streets) at 8:15pm on Friday, September 21. At 8:30 we will begin walking to the courthouse, where we will have a short vigil. For more information, contact the Richmond Church of the Brethren at 966.1930 or richmond_cob@verizon.net.
