Two southeastern Connecticut corridors are now state greenways, a milestone intended to help with efforts to expand connections to open space and hiking and biking paths.
The Connecticut Greenways Council last week approved applications for the establishment of the Groton Cross Town Greenway, designed to run east to west and connect the Town of Groton with the City of Groton, and the Tri Town Trail Greenway, based on a proposed trail system running north to south in Preston, Ledyard and Groton.
