NORWICH – Drivers will soon come across new, green road crossing signs directing hikers along the 72 miles of the Finger Lakes Trail that cuts through portions of Chenango County.

County planners and economic developers on Tuesday approved $2,000 for road signs, hiker orientation signs and a lean-to. Finger Lakes Trail Bullthistle Hikers Club President Ed Sidote said a new metal roof and timbers were needed for the lean-to in the Michigan State Forest, near East Pharsalia.
