The price tag for Phase 3 of the TRIBE Trail in New Hampton is going up.
Megan Baltes, Assistant Director with New Hampton Economic Development, says an increase in costs by about $50,000 didn’t come as a complete surprise.Â
Included in the funds raised thus far is a $75,000 REAP grant from the Iowa DNR in October.
Phase 3 of the project will connect the trail from Linn Avenue on the south side of New Hampton with the Chickasaw Wellness Center on the west side of town. Baltes says officials are hopeful for construction to begin next fall and wrap up in the spring of 2024.
Baltes also notes that their next Tribe Trail Steak Dinner fundraiser is scheduled for March 12th. Tickets are tax deductible and might make a great gift for Christmas.
