Kendallville City Council President Jim Dazey and Mayor Suzanne Handshoe work together to snip a ribbon dedicating the Grand Army of the Republic Highway Trail along U.S. 6 on Wednesday morning.

KENDALLVILLE — It’s all about connections.


The new Grand Army of the Republic Highway Trail along U.S. 6 in Kendallville made those connections.


It connects the Fishing Line Trail with the Fairview Boulevard Trail and the Allen Chapel Road sidewalks. It connects three Kendallville neighborhoods now accessible by foot or bicycle. It connects Rome City to Kendallville and, hopefully in the future, Avilla. It connected the finances from the city, from Noble Trails Inc. and from the state’s Next Level Trails grant program.


So, on Wednesday morning, city, state and regional officials gathered together to celebrate the connections made and officially dedicate the 1-mile stretch of trail.
