Northwest Iowa — The state Transportation Commission approved funding Tuesday for a northwest Iowa trail project.
DOT spokesman Craig Markley says a project to complete another phase of the Tatonka Ska Trace Rail Trail near the Iowa Great Lakes was one project that was approved for funding.
The project was awarded 202-thousand dollars. Markley says this trail has shown to be very popular.
The money is appropriated by the Iowa Legislature and he says through the years it has helped finish or upgrade the trail systems throughout the state.
