Now, according to Mayor Les Stapleton, those years of work may be ready to pay off. Prestonsburg Mayor Les Stapleton said the city is close to attaining certification as a Kentucky trail town. And it could come sooner than many think. We hope to be certified as a trail town in the next few months. Stapleton said a comprehensive report compiled by a group from Virginia Tech determined the city has many of the pieces necessary to get trail town certified. The report outlined numerous potential trails including a rail trail on an abandoned former CSX rail line. They also said some areas also need some work. It lays out everything we have and it also explains where we think we need to be in the future. So it's a stepping stone to the process. It pointed out our strengths, it pointed out our weaknesses and stuff that we need to do to try to make us a safer town to enjoy while you're either walking, riding or something here in town. We have a couple intersections that we'll need to try to get around basically to get people into the downtown areas, into the areas that we want them to be traveling. We want them to see. But it's nothing that can't be overcome by some of the ideas they gave us. They also looked at some of our trail systems of where we're at and how we can interconnect. They did a wonderful job, very comprehensive and it's been a big help to us, a very eye-opening plan. Stapleton said the ultimate factor in attaining trail town certification will be the continued participation by many of the city's organizations. We have over 32,000 volunteer hours in our trails. That's a lot of volunteer time. That's a lot of people getting involved helping get things where they need to be because they see a purpose. With the Kentucky Trail Town Certification, Stapleton said Prestonsburg will be poised to become and be marketed as an ecotourism destination. You know, you don't go very far without seeing a bicycle on the back of a car or see a kayak on top of a car. This is the kind of stuff that we need to work on. We need to bring people into this town. Once they see what a beautiful small town we have here and we are small town America. Once they see that, they're going to come back and they're going to make friends. The Kentucky Trail Town Program is a development designation available through the Kentucky Office of Adventure Tourism. In Prestonsburg, Chris Anderson, EKB News.
