McMinnville officials are still considering phase two of the greenway by connecting Sally’s Alley to Rocket Park with a new walking trail beside the Barren Fork River. Officials are eyeing a grant from Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation (TDEC) that could be used to purchase private-owned land between Sally’s Alley and Rocket Park.The trail to connect the parks has been under consideration for the last year. However, property owners Barry Barnes and Paul Michael Barnes had concerns about giving the city an easement onto their property for a public trail and would prefer the city purchase their land, if possible.TDEC is offering a trails grant that could be used to purchase the land, says city attorney Tim Pirtle.“It looks like this trails grant might be a source of funding to acquire the privately owned tract,” he said.
