The District of Lantzville amended its 2010 financial plan this week in order to receive provincial grant money to connect a section of the trail along the E&N Rail corridor with the Parkway Trail in Nanaimo.
Administrator Twyla Graff said the district already has $389,000 from the federal government's Community Works Fund and has now applied for a further $400,000 from the provincial Towns for Tomorrow grant program.
"We needed to make the amendment to the financial plan in order to spend the money we have already received from the federal government on this project," said Graff.
To meet the eligibility requirements of the provincial grant program, the district needed to demonstrate that it would contribute roughly half of the funding for the $809,100 section of the trail, which would run from the intersection of Aulds Road and the Parkway to Ware Road.
"It's one of six sections of trail that we have planned for the corridor," said Graff.
