2 The Pere Marquette Rail to Trail History The Pere Marquette railroad corridor began as an industrial asset to transport raw materials and finished goods across the state of Michigan. Today the corridor remains a significant transportation asset providing transit, exercise and recreation experiences to residents and tourists.

In 1993, Midland County received $4.3 million to construct the rail-trail. In 2001, Isabella County received $1.6 million to construct the rail-trail extension. In 2001, Midland County received an additional $0.2 million to enhance and connect to the rail-trail extension.

9 Linear-Trails and the Economy Expenditures by Trail Users Annual Spending on Cycling Ray s Bike Shop in Midland A local bike store doubled their business with the construction of the rail-trail. The 1999 Midwest Tandem Rally held in Midland County generated $260,000 of local spending. Event participants spent on average $566 per travel party.

Event participants spent on average $233 per travel party Tandem Rally cyclists who visited Midland County as special event participants reported spending $2,500 per year on cycling; Michigander participants reported spending $748 per year on cycling.

Owner s perceived value of their property
11 Linear-Trails and the Economy Trail Tourism Pere Marquette Rail-Trail Case Study Midland Downtown Ashman Court Hotel, Midland In the past few years, hundreds of individuals have requested railtrail information from the local convention and visitors bureau. Eight out of 10 visited Midland County, and 3 out of 10 used the rail-trail. Two of every 10 rail-trail users lives outside the county area. Seven out of 10 nonresident railtrail users are repeat users. Rail-trail users who are tourists spend money in restaurants and retail stores. Many also stay overnight. Eight out of ten visited a restaurant business along the trail.
12 Linear-Trails and the Economy Agricultural Ties Pere Marquette Rail-Trail Case Study During the summer and fall seasons, rail-trail users ride to downtown Midland to shop at the Farmers Market located at the trailhead. Residents of the Riverside Senior Housing also rely on the market for groceries and the rail-trail for socializing and exercise. Near Coleman, rail-trail users enjoy the farmscape and are reminded of the presence of the agricultural industry in mid- Michigan.
13 Linear-Trails & the Business Community Positioning Businesses Coleman s new visitor guide features the Pere Marquette Rail-Trail and local businesses side-byside Businesses have the opportunity to market and align their products and services along the railtrail theme.

23 Ways to Achieve Additional Economic Benefits from Rail-Trails Further involve local chamber organizations and convention and visitor bureaus in marketing and supporting rail-trails as community attractions. Use the rail-trail as a key benefit to help in locating a business in a county--employers and employees consider quality-of-life, transportation, and health as a key factor in relocation.! Ruby Tuesday s restaurant headquarters recently moved to downtown Knoxville for its location on the beautiful greenbelt and trail system. Sandy Beal, Chairman & CEO, Ruby Tuesday, Inc. Pere Marquette Rail-Trail Case Study
24 More Ways to Achieve Additional Economic Benefits from Rail-Trails Link rail-trails to retail corridors (downtown, shopping malls), residential areas, schools, and employers (hospitals, corporate facilities, government buildings). Attract special events that utilize rail-trails and link community events (festivals, fairs, etc.) with a trail-related activity/feature. Ask rail-trail users, particularly those from out-of-town, what additional services or provisions they would use and pay for.
25 More Ways to Achieve Additional Economic Benefits from Rail-Trails Link rail-trails to various lodging options, from campgrounds to bed & breakfasts and motels together. In Isabella County steps are being made to link the county s campground and day use area to the rail-trail. Consider incorporating new trail users, e.g equestrian, mountain biking, snowshoe, etc. and marketing the railtrail to other recreation user groups e.g. bird watchers, anglers, etc.
