"TRAIL OF YEARS"
by Lee Chilcote

Tim Donovan is a patient man. As a leader of the marathon effort to bring the 110-mile Towpath Trail from Zoar, Ohio to Cleveland's Flats, he knows that change takes time. Yet, having completed nearly 80 of the trail's 110 miles, he also knows he's in the home stretch.

"The Towpath Trail segments have been completed on time," boasts Donovan, executive director of the advocacy group Ohio Canal Corridor (OCC). "This is one of the best examples of regional development in Northeast Ohio. Throughout 58 communities and four counties, we have helped to create nearly $300 million in economic development."
