EXHIBIT 09: CELEBRATING SUCCESS IN FOREST CITY 2017 enhancements to the old rail line bridge that crosses Highway 74 were funded in part with RCTDA funding.
STRATEGIC ACTION PRIORITIES The Town of Forest City is working to implement two Rutherford Bound initiatives by 2025.
FC1 Farmers Market
FC2 TBRT Enhancements
The future Forest City Farmers Market will be located adjacent to the TBRT. The town recently obtained a $450,000 NC Parks and Recreation Trust Fund grant to combine with secured funding from the RCTDA and RHI Foundation. The farmers market project is expected to cost approximately $1,600,000.
Forest City’s other Rutherford Bound initiative is to provide improvements along the TBRT, which extends 4.5 miles through its jurisdiction. Proposed improvements may include landscaping and public art at the roundabout near the Pavilion on Park Square, landscaping at various locations along the rail trail, and improved gateway signage along the trail when entering the town limits.
