Hank Pickering of Wolfe City, a member of the Northeast Texas Trail board of directors, says a recent $7.4 million dollar grant from the Texas Department of Transportation will allow for major improvements of the trail in Red River and Bowie Counties. Also, Wolfe City has a $250,000 grant to pave the NETT from one side of town to the other.
