Centre County, PA has a rich history of iron and coal mining with many remnants of these industries still intact within the county borders. This project’s goal was to create a cohesive network of rail trails, mixed use paths, and bike trails to connect the people of Centre County to key locations from the Iron and Coal Industries. The key locations on which this industry took place are proposed to be converted into parks, with each park capturing the characteristic of that site’s history.
