NEABC and Jonesboro Parks and Recreation partnered in a grant proposal that resulted in a $5000 grant from Bikes Belong.  Bikes Belong is a bike-industry sponsored organization whose goal is "to put more people on more bikes more often." 
The money will go toward the construction of Phase 1 of the Jonesboro Greenway. This includes the section of trail north of the Turtle Creek Mall going towards Nettleton Ave.
