Atlanta Regional Commission Staff Recommends Funding for Noonday Creek Trail Extension

As part of their update to the Atlanta Regions Transportation Improvement Program, the Atlanta Regional Commission (ARC) has recommended approval of funding for the engineering and construction portions of the Noonday Creek Trail connection from Highway 92 south to Noonday Park in Cobb County. If approved by the full ARC Board, it will provide funding for an important milestone in the evolution of the trail system in Woodstock and Cherokee County.

Work has been ongoing on the pre-engineering and alignment portion of the trail extension, which was awarded a study grant in 2016. The positive award of this new $2.5 million grant will result in an additional two miles of multi-use trail and connection into Cobb County. The grant is matched with 20% local funding through SPLOST and park impact fees, bringing the project total to almost $3 million.

Since the inception of the Greenprints trail project in 2008, almost thirty miles of trails have been built in Woodstock including the Rope Mill Park - Mountain Park Trails and the first phase of the Noonday Creek Trail, which sees approximately 200,000 users per year. The Towne Lake Pass Trail phase of the system recently added another two miles.

Our focus on ecotourism, including trails and passive park spaces, is really starting to take off, stated Mayor Donnie Henriques. We are seeing these type of amenities as a driving factor in the decision for people to relocate or visit our area. Continued investment in this trail system is of utmost importance, and we are excited to see ARC support those investments.
