Palouse receives bid on river trail project

The City of Palouse has received one bid so far for the river trail project on donated land along the North Fork of Palouse River through downtown. The city received a $26,530 grant from the county's .09 tax program in the spring for the trail project.

“The terrain on that side, the grade, it's got it's challenges. It's just a steep grade right there,” said Michael Echanove, Palouse mayor.

Under the rules of the .09 grants, the city matches up to 25 percent. The total for Palouse is not yet determined due to the factor of donated land, which will be counted as part of the match.
