A light agenda made for a brief regular meeting of the Lower Elkhorn Natural Resources District on Thursday evening.
Income and expenses were discussed, and monthly reports were given, including the administrative report by Mike Sousek, NRD manager.
Sousek said NRD staff recently met with City of Norfolk personnel for a status update on the riverfront trail project, approved by the NRD board in July.
He said the city is working with JEO Consulting and RiverWise to begin preliminary design of the project and to start getting the information needed for the permitting process.
“Fundraising was discussed on securing the $1 million from the private sector, and a quarter of that has been secured,” Sousek said.
The riverfront trail project will receive $1.032 million from the NRD, divided over four years — 2019-22. That amount will cover one-third of the $3 million project, with the other two-thirds coming from the private sector and a source to be identified by the City of Norfolk.
