I spend my afternoon with Commissioner Valentine of Allegany Co. Ray Tighe was with me as was a local land owner. We spent an hour discussing the possibility of establishing a Hatfield/McCoy like system in western MD.
There are still a lot of issues to address but the Commissioner seemed favorable
As an interesting side note, he said the county lost $1.2M in economic benefit when Green Ridge was closed.
I have been having problems with the server running out of resources and giving errors. It is better but I'm still getting some periodically. Please report any you get to me at ken@kyler.com.

Re: Hatfield/McCoy in MD
That's outstanding! If the county lost that much I'd have think private business lost quite a bit too. Hopefully they are voicing their opinion loudly too!kyler wrote: As an interesting side note, he said the county lost $1.2M in economic benefit when Green Ridge was closed.

Re: Hatfield/McCoy in MD
I THINK that when they say the county lost $1.2M that means that the cumulative revenue loss of all the private businesses was $1.2M (BUT - I've been wrong before)
In any case this is a significant impact on an area as poor as that county!

Re: Hatfield/McCoy in MD
and that was for an 18-mile loop. I wonder what the ratio of revenue per mile would be for say 100 or 200 miles of trails.BigBird wrote:I THINK that when they say the county lost $1.2M that means that the cumulative revenue loss of all the private businesses was $1.2M (BUT - I've been wrong before)

Re: Hatfield/McCoy in MD
Not to knock the old Greenridge loop but a loop of any significant distance with some nice singletrack etc. would get a HUGH response. GO KEN
