MetroGreen® Success Stories

Over 200 trail miles of the total 1,144 mile system have been constructed in the last 15 years, and approximately 10,000 acres of stream corridors and natural areas have been protected.

Progress within the MetroGreen system is a collaborative effort by all members of the Alliance. However, local governments are mainly responsible for land acquisition and protection and the design, construction and maintenance of trails within the greenway corridors. Many MetroGreen partner entities have completed projects that have been highly successful and have the potential to be duplicated throughout the metro area.

These success stories highlight some of the projects and initiatives that have had a significant impact on the development of MetroGreen.

If your agency has a successful similar project or initiative that you think is of regional significance, please contact Tom Jacobs at (816) 474-4240 or tjacobs@marc.org.
