The city of Jordan is reapplying for a grant it failed to receive last year from the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources.

If the city is successful, the DNR’s local trail connection program would provide a 50-50 matching grant for a proposed trail system that includes a proposed trail along County Road 66 (aka Old Highway 169) in Jordan that recently escalated in price by about $20,000.

City Planner Casey MacCallum said a retaining wall is necessary along a segment of the county road.

Another $51,942.94 went toward Jordan's realignment project involving Sawmill Road, County Road 66, and Highway 21.
