FAIRFIELD, Iowa.- June 4, 2007
Dexter Apache Holdings, Inc. has made a long term commitment to provide substantial ongoing financial support for the maintenance and improvement of the Jefferson County Trail System. Dexter Apache President and CEO, Patrick D. Albregts commented, “we are delighted to be able to support this important Jefferson County recreational resource. Wellness and the health of our employees is a long term strategic priority for our business and resources like the trail system are an excellent way for our employees and their families and all area residents to lead an active and healthy lifestyle. We look forward to the completion of the trail and supporting its improvement for many years to come.”
The Jefferson County Trail System is comprised of two major elements - the trails in Jefferson County Park, including the Cedar View Trail and the Fairfield Loop Trail. When the Loop Trail is completed in 2009, the entire trail system will be over 30 miles in length. Both the County Conservation Board and the Park & Recreation Department will oversee maintenance of the trail system. The Iowa Department of Transportation is currently building over 5 miles of Loop Trail and several bridges in conjunction with the Highway 34 Fairfield bypass project.
Ron Blair, Chairman of the Jefferson County Trails Council commented " We are incredibly proud to be partnering with Fairfield's largest employer to provide high quality health and recreational opportunities for their employees and the citizens of Fairfield and Jefferson County.
