Business Opportunities “In just one season we’ve seen our restaurant business grow by more than 200 percent, thanks in large measure to local, regional, and national trail and river users. We take the time to interact with our clients, and their comments have been 99% positive. They have, however, pointed to the need for more amenities, more services, and more attractions along the trail. All of those things spell OPPORTUNITY.” John Markle The Trailside, West Newton The Trail Town Program works to build connections between business investors and towns along the trail.
