Rail Trail Task Force
The Rail Trail Task Force was established on April 21, 2016 to establish a multi-use recreation trail from the Village of Dryden, along the existing rail bed, to the Ithaca Town line, including obtaining easements from private property owners and advising the Town Board on issues related to the establishment of the rail trail.
The Rail Trail Task Force meets on the 3rd Monday of each month at 7:00pm (see calendar for meeting details).
