AUGUSTA, Maine — Maine Gov. Janet Mills recently signed a bill that will lead to the construction of a new biking/walking trail on a corridor of inactive railroad tracks that runs through Oxford and Cumberland counties.

The bill was introduced by Maine Sen. Richard A. Bennett (R-Oxford) and then passed by a large majority in the Maine Senate and House, demonstrating the Legislature’s belief in the value of investing in trails for recreation and transportation.
