High Bridge Trail State Park Manager Daniel Jordan brought some good news to the Pamplin City Town Council meeting July 12, although he advised council members to be “cautiously optimistic, but this is big.”

Jordan’s guess is that groundbreaking to connect High Bridge Trail to Pamplin will occur soon.

“We look forward to breaking ground by late fall. As you know, we (DCR) purchased 30 acres in Pamplin, the last mile in town,” he said.

“We had money to buy the property. Unfortunately, there isn’t always money to develop the property. But, fortunately, that is not the case with this,” Jordan said.
