Authorize First Broad River State Trail.
This bill authorizes the North Carolina Department of Natural and Cultural Resources to create the First Broad River State Trail in Cleveland and Rutherford Counties. The trail would connect the river's headwaters in Golden Valley to its confluence with the Broad River, linking communities like Shelby and Zion while aiming to increase public access points. The legislation allows the state to use existing funds from various conservation sources to acquire land and develop the trail, rather than requiring new budget appropriations. Additionally, the bill allocates $25,000 in 2026-2027 for planning and public education efforts related to the project.
