The Georgia Governor’s Office of Highway Safety recently awarded Bike Walk Golden Isles a grant for $54,225, allowing the nonprofit to hire its first executive director.
The Brunswick News published a front-page article detailing the grant’s background and the hiring new executive director Tavel Cowan.
“We are grateful for the support of GOHS as it allows us to continue to expand the programs we’ve been offering, with the goal of improving safety for all people on the streets, sidewalks and trails of the Gold Coast area,” said Van Black, chair of Bike Walk Golden Isles. “Many people in Glynn, McIntosh and Camden counties depend on biking and walking for daily transportation and we want to make sure they can do so in a safe environment.”
Cowan will be responsible for the day-to-day activities that achieve BWGI’s overall goals of improving safety and increasing opportunities for walkers, runners and cyclists.
