Pickens Mayor David Owens, Pickens City Administrator Katherine Hendricks and Pickens City Council attended last night's meeting of Easley City Council, to celebrate the partnership that will see the old Doodle Line turned into a walking and biking trail connecting the two cities.
The paperwork has been singed and it's official - Easley and Pickens each own half of the former rail bed.
Officials hope the trail will not only be used for recreation by residents, but attract tourists and new business to the area.
Easley Mayor Larry Bagwell said he hopes the trail will be "very rewarding" for all of Pickens County.
A reception was held after last night's meeting.
