I will be voting yes on the Rumford Falls trail referendum question. This recommendation/request is a result of many conversations, expressions of support and strong interest from not only citizens, but also civic and business groups in Rumford, such as RumfordAHEAD!, Envision Rumford and ACE (Active Community Environment).

Additional input came from a consultant group working with private investors who are actively trying to secure land and permitting to bring a hotel to Rumford. The consultants stated “There are many towns along rivers but Rumford Falls and the trail are unique assets to be taken advantage of.”

I hope others will join me in voting yes to re-open the Rumford Falls trail.
