Supporting the development of a digital trails initiative in Northeast Michigan in conjunction with the Northeast Michigan Council of Governments (NEMCOG) and the Up North Trails Collaborative. The project involves the launch of a first-of-its kind initiative to "digitize" the trail networks in Northeast Michigan. The "Digital Trails" project is intended to represent the nation's first trail network integrated with broadband access points, mobile applications and other app supported tools to enhance and support tourism, access, education, and commercial development in northeast Michigan. The initiative encompasses three areas of focus including implementation of a pilot program to digitize a segment of the Up North Trails system; creation and implementation of a fund development plan; and the establishment of a comprehensive marketing plan.
