Gov. Beshear announces funding for River Walk in Manchester TAP MONEY: For Manchester River Walk. Program allows cities to expand transportation choices for citizens, TAP is a federally funded reimbursement program administered by the Office of Local Programs in the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet's Department of Rural and Municipal Aid. TAP assists communities in funding transportation improvements such as safe bicycle and pedestrian facilities, scenic routes, beautification and other investments. Projects may be a mix of elements and accessible to the general public or targeted to a broad segment of the general public. By Terry Sebastian & Jennifer Brislin FRANKFORT, KY - Governor Steve Beshear today announced $130,000 in federal Transportation Alternative Program (TAP) funding to be used to complete the Manchester River Walk in Clay County. The award comes after a meeting between Gov. Beshear and "Stay in Clay" - a locally formed group of volunteers and retirees who have taken the initiative to make their community more visually appealing and consumer friendly. "This is a great example of how government should work - from the inside out," Gov. Beshear said. "I am impressed with the 'Stay in Clay' group and the work they are doing to make a difference in Clay County. By initiating changes within their community, this group has demonstrated the passion they have for making Clay County more appealing to businesses, consumers and visitors - as well as to those who call Clay County their home. I am excited to watch the group's progress, and am happy to see these funds going to help them achieve their goals." Historically known as the "Warrior's Path" and part of the "Trail of Tears," the Manchester River Walk, once complete, will cover 3,200 feet connecting residents living in East Manchester, along Railroad Avenue and Y-Hollow with downtown Manchester and Memorial Hospital. It will also provide more accessibility to shopping, dining, the public library, Manchester City Hall, health care and local government offices. "Based on meetings between 'Stay in Clay,' the mayor and the county judge, this group has developed a plan to initiate change within their own community," said Sen. Robert Stivers, of Manchester. "This is how we will change the perception of eastern Kentucky - from the inside out. I hope other communities will look to 'Stay in Clay' as an example of how they can make a difference right at home." "I want to thank Gov. Beshear for awarding the TAP grant. With the completion of this project we will have access to more walking trails and improving the health of the citizens of Clay County," said state Rep. Tim Couch, of Hyden. TAP is a federally funded reimbursement program administered by the Office of Local Programs in the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet's Department of Rural and Municipal Aid. TAP assists communities in funding transportation improvements such as safe bicycle and pedestrian facilities, scenic routes, beautification and other investments. Projects may be a mix of elements and accessible to the general public or targeted to a broad segment of the general public. TAP enables the local government to recoup as much as 80 percent of the cost of a project. The city of Manchester will put $32,500 of its local funding toward the cost of the River Walk project.
