The Last Post!

This will be the last post in the Salt Missions Trail Scenic Byway blog.  Don’t worry though, you can still keep up with all the latest news from along the Byway on our Facebook page.  We leave you with this wonderful news:

As you may already be aware, the Salt Missions Trail (SMT) Scenic Byway Committee has been working on branding and promoting this incredible resource for a number of years. The SMT Committee and MRCOG (the Mid-Region Council of Governments) have also been successfully working toward securing funding to purchase signage to go along the 150-mile Byway. 

Now that all the funds have been received, MRCOG requested bids from signage companies throughout the spring and is proud to announce that 51 signs have been purchased. It is anticipated that the signs will be installed late July/August. The SMT Committee will work toward a ribbon cutting ceremony to mark this incredible occasion. Please stay tuned for more details on our Facebook page!
