North Star Monthly: Finding Balance - Kingdom Trails trades a $4.5M dream for the trails it loves
The organization quietly shelved its $4.5 million welcome center — and found a clearer path forward.
In a state where land-use fights (along with most any other issue) can feel stuck on repeat, this Kingdom Trails story shows a beloved Northeast Kingdom riding network choosing reinvention over a $4.5 million dream to protect the trails, landowners, and villages that made it special. It’s a sharp look at a creative Vermont solution that keeps access open and a rural economy alive in real time.
