    A groundbreaking ceremony in Economy lifted more than just the spirits of area residents last Wednesday. Now that construction begins on the Cardinal Greenway across Northern Wayne County, the project is expected to elevate property values and fitness levels along the way.
    John Zetzl of Hagerstown, treasurer of the Greenway’s Wayne County Steering Committee, expressed gratitude to the many public officials, volunteers and private donors who made the ceremony possible.
   "Today we break ground on projects that will rehabilitate all the (former railroad) bridges between Richmond and Losantville," he explained. "We will complete a 12-mile gravel trail from Williamsburg to Losantville suitable for jogging and hiking and add approximately 10 miles of new paved trail from Williamsburg to Richmond. All told, these projects total nearly $4 million.
   "Wayne County residents and businesses have responded very generously (for the past seven years) and we will continue to need your support in the future in order to complete the trail." For more of this story please subscribe!
