JCTA and JCHD
Jessamine County Trails Association (JCTA) is currently a working group associated with the Jessamine County Health Department (JCHD). It members are from local government, other agencies, and citizens of the county interested in promoting, enjoying, maintaining, and creating trails of all kinds in the area. This effort feeds into the Health Department’s initiatives on fighting chronic diseases like obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, cancer, and arthritis, and that feeds into its Safe Communities program.
