Barry Jones latest volunteer to help implement Trail Town idea Trail Town, USA can be tremendous asset to Columbia and Adair County, writer says. Already, the number of people coming from everywhere to ride trails is staggering. And it is already providing eonomic development. Comment about: Is Columbia the next Trail Town - USA? Posted March 15, 2014. By Barry Jones Personal Commentary This can really be a huge asset to Columbia and Adair Co. Bicycles, horses, off road vehicles would all come from everywhere to Columbia/Adair Co. to ride. The numbers of riders is staggering. They would all buy groceries, hotel rooms, gas and other supplies in Columbia. Land owners that properties are crossed have a huge opportunity to put camping sites, cabins and other overnight accommodations on the trails. Rascal (Haskell) and I have been working on this for a year. The biggest hold back we have run into is getting permission to cross property lines and the installation of gates in those fences. If the property is leased to the trail ride association, the owners need to get liability insurance. If permission is "granted" for the riders to cross the property, there is no liability to the land owners. There are other minor problems that can be handled easily with the cooperation of the city, county and state governments such as crossing and using state highways and getting the permission from land owners. I know a reputable fencing company that would install a quality gate at the property line fences. This would be the most costly part of the project. That is a phone call away. I would be proud to help finish this project. We have a lot to offer as a trail town. I am a phone call or email away. - Barry Jones bwjones@duo-county.com This story was posted on 2014-03-16 08:52:47
