Glade Spring Mayor Lee Coburn told Saltville&rsquo;s town council members Tuesday the two towns are an overlooked part of Washington County and suggested they &ldquo;stick together and work together on things,&rdquo; including extending the Salt Trail into his town.
The recreational trail on a former railroad spur to Saltville from the main line at Glade Spring enters the heart of Saltville, but has its southern end on the edge of Glade Spring. Coburn envisioned a trail connecting the two towns&rsquo; squares, and said work on gaining easements in his town is nearing completion.
The Saltville council voted to draft a resolution of support for the trail&rsquo;s extension.
The towns will also look for ways to share expensive equipment.
