Third phase of bike trail to be named after county commisisoner

CHAMPION — When the third phase of the Western Resere Greenway bike trail is dedicated at 1 p.m. Friday behind the Trumbull Career and Technical Center, special recognition will be given to Paul E. Heltzel, the county commissioner who died in office last June.

Heltzel, 69, was a bicyclist and participated in biking events on the greenway, officials said.

The new part of the greenway, from Champion Avenue East in Champion to North River Road in Warren, will be named after him.
