Trails for Sale Bill Passes Senate
February 29th, 2012 by flanewsYour favorite walking trail may soon have a corporate sponsor. A bill to allow the state to sell naming rights to seven Florida trails passed the senate today. Senator Stephen Wise is sponsoring the trails for sale bill. Wise says it will help keep the trails funded in a tough budget year.
“I think it will be a way to have additional dollars to upkeep those trails and I think it’s going to be a great way to do it,” said Wise.
