In an article published by The Journal, Charles Town has officially begun construction on the Augustine Trail, a project aimed at enhancing connectivity between housing developments, businesses, and schools including Washington High School to the downtown area. After more than a decade of planning and community interest, the trail project, which is expected to span three phases, was celebrated by city officials, including Project Lead Alissa Meeks, who highlighted its potential to promote economic development and provide a safer environment for walking and biking. U.S. Senators Joe Manchin and Shelley Moore Capito were acknowledged for their financial support of the initiative. The trail is projected to be completed by 2025, symbolizing community collaboration and growth.
