Great Western Trail Authority
The Great Western Trail Authority is a local government entity, created by an Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) between the towns of Windsor, Severance & Eaton to accept the donation of the abandoned Great Western Railway between the towns under the “railbanking” provisions of the 1983 amendments to the National Trails System Act. The Authority’s ongoing responsibility is to plan and construct a public trail on the right-of-way, maintain the trail corridor, and seek funding for the trail through grants and contributions.
