The Lincoln Prairie Trails Conservancy group is making progress towards revitalizing the trail between Pana and Taylorville. 

Taylorville City Council approved an intergovernmental agreement between the City of Taylorville and the City of Pana at its last city council meeting. 

This agreement is an update to an old agreement. As Co-Founder of Lincoln Prairie Trails Conservancy Bud Altman says, City Councils for both Pana and Taylorville had to update their agreements because the cost of the renovations shot up dramatically by the time a contractor picked up the bid. 

Taylorville Mayor Bruce Barry says that the matching grant LPTC is applying for would pay for 80 percent of the project.

Board member Steve Dennis says not many know just how long the Lincoln Prairie Trail is. 

Fellow board member Bill Roseberry says he has been watching the project from the Pana side. 

Roseberry, Dennis, Mayor Barry, and Altman appeared as guests on the WTIM Morning Show.
