KENNEBEC JOURNAL • September 16, 2021
I am thrilled the Merrymeeting Trail project has significant momentum once again (“Community Compass: Exciting steps forward on Merrymeeting Trail,” Aug. 28). These longer-distance trails have been developed all over New England and the states building them have drawn visitors and the subsequent revenue that comes with them. It will be a boon to the Kennebec Valley to build the Merrymeeting Trail (and quickly). There is an excellent foundation already in place with the Kennebec River Rail Trail. Extending a trail south to other communities would help to re-connect them just like commerce on the Kennebec used to. ~ Scott Moucka, Augusta
