Hanover for turning an abandoned rail bed in the town’s southwestern corner into a lush, 6-mile trail that would let people walk and pedal safely to two nearby communities.
Proposed by the town’s Open Space Committee, the plan would add precious collateral to a decade-old local greenway vision to link isolated tracts of town-owned land while forging connections with a similar rail-to-trail effort in neighboring Rockland that reaches all the way to Abington, officials said.
If the town signs a contract with the Nevada-based nonprofit Iron Horse Preservation Society, the new trail would come at no cost, said Hal Thomas, the committee cochairman. But first, selectmen must decide whether to approve the partnership.
