New Albany is proud to partner with our surrouding communities on an event that will showcase this wonderful public asset, the Ohio River Greenway.
— Mayor Jeff Gahan, City of New Albany
“Working to connect our southern Indiana communities has always been a priority for the Town of Clarksville. We are excited to partner with New Albany and Jeffersonville in creating a fun, family-friendly event celebrating the final connection of the Ohio River Greenway.”
— Paul Fetter, President of Clarksville Town Council
“Creating connectivity within Jeffersonville has been – and continues to be - one of our top priorities. The Ohio River Greenway lets us extend that effort and lets us connect to not only Clarksville, but also upriver to New Albany. That is an extraordinary opportunity for the Southern Indiana community. We all have the same goal – we want to connect – that’s why the Ohio River Greenway is a project everyone embraces.”
— Mayor Mike Moore, City of Jeffersonville
