Administrator Teri Wise and the Centerburg City Council are focused on the trails running through the town.
Wise said the town has partnered with a group that is providing Centerburg with data on the usage of village trails.
"We in Centerburg are what we call a trail town," Wise said. "There (are) a group of small villages like us and the planning commission helps us understand who is using our trails, what we can do to help improve their experience and how can we better incorporate our trails to downtown. There is no way I can do a big study to find out who is using our trails. This way, it's a joint effort."
Wise added the town is seeking to invest in more bike paths for added outdoors opportunities.
"We have a great little village here," Wise said. "The bike path is fantastic. We are even looking to put together some sort of a farmer's market before the end of the season."
In service of that effort, the Centerburg City Council recently approved a resolution authorizing the administrator to submit an application to the Transportation Alternative Program (TAP), which is funded through the Ohio Department of Transportation.
TAP provides funding "for projects defined as transportation alternatives, including on- and off-road pedestrian and bicycle facilities, infrastructure projects for improving non-driver access to public transportation and enhanced mobility, community improvement activities and environmental mitigation, recreational trail program projects and safe routes to school projects," according to DOT.
