(FOX40.COM) — The City of Folsom could be receiving close to a half-a-million dollars in state funding for a second sculpture along the nearly three mile Jonny Cash Trail.
During the Folsom City Council meeting on Tuesday, the council approved a resolution to apply for $425,000 in Specific Grant Funds as part of the 2023 California State Budget.
The funding would go towards landscape architecture, engineering, and fabrication of art for Cash’s Pick No. 2 on the Johnny Cash Trail.
In March 2023, the city sent a request to Assemblymember Josh Hoover (Folsom) for him to request funding for the project on behalf of Folsom.

The City of Folsom has already secured funding for Cash’s Pick No. 1 at one end of the trail and are waiting for construction to begin.
