Progress & Stages Overview
We have many projects in different stages of development, all being pursued at the same time. To illustrate the progress and status of each project we will identify them as follows:
1. Trail Concept & Exploration
This stage involves a tremendous amount of conceptual research before anything concrete can be approached. Trail location, usage, connections, amenities, and interest must all be considered.
2. Trail Alignment & Securing Access/Easements
Now, initial contact is made with land owners and Garrett Trails shares our research with them to address any concerns. If all issues are successfully rectified, the drafting of any needed easement agreements begins.
3. Engineering/Construction Planning & Environmental Review
At this stage, need for engineering reports and corresponding fees are examined. Engineers are hired to review all aspects of the suggested trail and all land parcel and owners are finalized.
4. Construction Funding & Construction
The main components of this step include constructing a budget, identifying and securing a funding source, and preparing all relevant contracts.
5. Mapping, Promotion & Maintenance
This step includes promoting the newly constructed trail, outlining a maintenance strategy for upkeep and updating all Garrett Trails materials to reflect the new trail.
