Heartland Community College Breaks Ground on New COUNTRY Financial Trail

Heartland Community College broke ground on a project that will expand the Constitution Trail in Normal around the College’s Birky Pond. Keith Cornille, President of Heartland Community College, and Jim Jacobs, CEO at COUNTRY Financial, kicked off the event.

The mile-long COUNTRY Financial walking and running trail, bordered by native prairie, will include a bird watching blind, gazebo, and pond overlook. Pedestrians and bikers will be able to access the newly paved area from the Constitution Trail at Raab Road, the Heartland campus at Vermillion Way, and the Corn Crib parking lot. Construction is set to be complete by late 2025.
