Great Rivers Greenway has announced a $2 million gift from Nestlé Purina PetCare Company for the continued development of the Brickline Greenway.
As part of this contribution, Purina will work with Great Rivers Greenway to install pet water and waste stations along the Greenway. These additions will ensure that dog owners have the necessary amenities to enjoy the greenway while promoting responsible pet ownership.
“Great Rivers Greenway is thrilled to partner with Purina on this initiative,” said Susan Trautman, retiring Great Rivers Greenway CEO. “This commitment will help us bring Brickline Greenway to life as a welcoming place for all residents and visitors, ensuring that our greenways are enjoyable for everyone, including our four-legged friends.”
“We’re proud to support the development of the Brickline Greenway [and] confident this project will bring new energy and opportunity to our region while encouraging a healthy lifestyle for pets and their families,” said Nina Leigh Krueger, Nestlé Purina PetCare Company president and CEO.
The installation of the new pet water and waste stations is set to begin along Market Street this Fall.
