Work on ECG began in 1991 and is projected to be completed in 2010. The American Tobacco Trail is one of many Rails-to-Trails projects which form sections of this greenway.

1 History

In 1991 a group of cyclists and long-distance trail enthusiasts met in New York City and formed a national non-profit organization, the East Coast Greenway Alliance, or ECGA, to plan and promote a greenway linking existing and planned trails into a contiguous spine route between Atlantic coast cities.

In the summer of 1992 the ECGA sent nine cyclists from Boston, New York, Vermont, and Washington, D.C on a 30-day "exploratory" cycle tour. In June of 1999 the ECG was selected by the White House for designation as a National Millennium TrailNational Millennium Trails are 16 long-distance trails selected from 58 nominees as visionary trails that reflect defining aspects America's history and culture. The trails were chosen on June 26, 2000 by the White House Millennium Council. Unicoi Turnpik.
