by Kate Shunney

Morgan County officials have committed to spending $82,000 in Hotel/Motel funds as a match to a federal grant that will study the possibility of creating a pedestrian-safe access path from the Food Lion area in Berkeley Springs to the C&O Canal in Hancock.

Commissioners had previously agreed to spend $40,000 as a study match for a path from the parking lot of the Senior Center at Sandmine Road to the C&O Canal.
