Codorus Creek Greenway Project Set to Begin in 2027 with $40.5 Million Investment
Construction of the Codorus Creek greenway in York City is slated for 2027, with a budget of $40.5 million for Phase One. This project will enhance recreational access and improve the creek's environmental management through various upgrades.

The Codorus Creek greenway project in York City is projected to commence construction in 2027, backed by a $40.5 million investment for its first phase. This phase includes developing a pedestrian and bike trail across a 1.4-mile stretch, alongside recreational features and public access points.
Funding sources comprise state, federal, and local grants, with significant contributions from the Pennsylvania Redevelopment Assistance Capital Program and the Rebuilding American Infrastructure with Sustainability & Equity program. The design and engineering, led by Buchart Horn, aim to improve flood management and ecological health by reshaping creek banks and enhancing stormwater control.
Permit approvals from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and state agencies are pending, with expectations for completion in the upcoming year. Delays due to external factors, including federal shutdowns, may affect timelines. Successful execution of this project could set a precedent for future urban greenway developments.
