Milford-Slaughter Beach Shared Use Path Feasibility Study
Milford-Slaughter Beach Shared Use Path Feasibility Study
The Milford-Slaughter Beach Shared Use Path Feasibility will assess the feasibility and develop a conceptual design for a shared use path that connects the City of Milford with the Town of Slaughter Beach. A shared use path will provide people walking, biking, and rolling with a new transportation connection and a regional recreational amenity that will encourage ecotourism in the area.
This study is being funded by a U.S. DOT Thriving Communities Grant which the City of Milford and Town of Slaughter Beach won with support from the UD Institute of Public Administration Grant Assistance Program. The Dover/Kent County Metropolitan Planning Organization is administering the grant funds on behalf of Milford and Slaughter Beach. The grant requires the feasibility study to be complete by June 2, 2025.
