City Unlocks Key Component For Future Monon South Freedom Trail

City Unlocks Key Component for Future Monon South Freedom Trail

At today’s New Albany Redevelopment Commission meeting, the board voted unanimously to pursue the acquisition of the New Albany Golf Course property, located at 1706 Graybrook Lane.

The City of New Albany is currently constructing Phase 1 of the Monon South Freedom Trail, which will ultimately span nearly 63 miles from New Albany to Mitchell, Indiana. Phase 1 ends just outside the current New Albany Golf Course, making the property a critical connection point for future trail development. Phase 2 of construction will extend the trail toward the Clark-Floyd county line.

In recent years, several developers have expressed interest in the golf course property for large-scale, multi-family residential projects. By moving to acquire the property, the City of New Albany is not only working towards the long-term preservation of this important community asset but also unlocking new opportunities to expand and enhance the Monon South Freedom Trail for future generations.

“The timing could not be better!” said Mayor Jeff Gahan. “Our ongoing commitment to Health and Fitness is bringing new connections and opportunities to be outdoors: on the Greenway, on the Shoreline, and now on the Monon South Freedom Trail!”
