Donation for new walking, running trail at Gadsden State Community College
A generous donation will help build a new walking and running trail near the Coosa River in Gadsden.
The Gadsden State Community College announced Alabama Power Company granted $50,000 to the college to construct the Coosa River Trail at Gadsden State.
The trail will be up to 10K in length and will run along the perimeter of the campus that borders the Coosa River.
It will be open to college employees and students as well as community members.
"The Coosa River Trail will be a natural recruitment tool for Gadsden State," said Dr. Kathy Murphy, president. "It will bring more people to campus and will serve as a reminder that Gadsden State is an affordable option for students wanting a good education close to home."
Future plans include an outdoor classroom to study plants, trees, wildfire and the trail will also be home to the college's cross country team.
