The City of Cincinnati has secured the funding for Wasson Way Right-of- Way!
The City of Cincinnati recently allocated capital funds to purchase the 4.1 miles of rail line right-of-way needed to build the Wasson Way trail! The City has been under contract with Norfolk Southern for the line since summer of 2015 and has now secured the funds to make the purchase. This means the Wasson Way trail WILL become a reality!
