D&L Trail Town Event Projects

The Delaware & Lehigh National Heritage Corridor (DLNHC) is offering event project reimbursement funding for trail events that promote local economic development, improve community health, diversify trail funding, and/or enhance resource conservation and stewardship within the D&L Trail five county corridor (Luzerne, Carbon, Lehigh, Northampton, and/or Bucks County).  We want to support events that get people out on trails and showcase what an important resource they are.  New events are especially encouraged, but reoccurring events are also eligible for partial funding.

Goals/Objectives: Events are a great way to introduce new people to trails, increase excitement for local resources, promote healthy lifestyles, and encourage tourism.  Hosting an event that uses a trail, whether directly on the trail, in a designated D&L Trail Town, or at a D&L Trail Friendly Business, helps create a trail-friendly atmosphere for both residents and visitors while also supporting local economies. These events contribute to the economic impact of trail users by encouraging spending at nearby businesses and strengthening connections between the trail and surrounding communities.
