(07:49) SANTA CRUZ COUNTY – The Land Trust of Santa Cruz County has voted to contribute $1.5 million in funding for a section of the Coastal Rail Trail. The trust’s Board of Trustees has made the pledge to help build the trail between the San Lorenzo River and 17th Avenue. The funds will match a $12 million federal grant request from the County Public Works Department. If the grant application is unsuccessful, the $1.5 million from the Land Trust would go towards the construction of the Rail Trail from the Yacht Harbor to 17th Avenue. The Land Trust has already committed over $3 million to build five miles of the trail from Wilder Ranch State Park to Coast Dairies. (S.G.)
