COTA's Crook County Chapter Awarded Generous Facebook Grant

In January, 2018, COTA's Crook County Chapter was awarded a $45,000 Community Action Grant from Facebook's Prineville Data Center, to be used to help construct and upgrade the Lower 66 trail system in Prineville, creating an easy three-mile trail accessible to strollers, walkers, cyclists and more. The trail will include park benches and picnic tables. COTA is one of 20 recipients for the 2018 round of Facebook's Community Action Grants. 

Our Crook County Chapter team, spearheaded by board members Amber Toomey and Darlene Henderson, learned of Facebook's community oriented grant opportunities last year, determined what type of in-town trail system the community would benefit from the most and completed the grant application in the fall. 

Facebook’s Prineville Data Center has also supported COTA’s Crook County Chapter efforts with a $7,500 grant for the Prineville Bike Park and a $15,000 grant for the Ochoco trail rehab project of the heritage Potlid, Scotty and Cougar Creek trails.
