Is’nt there some way to see the plans for these improvements?
I hope it means we will get an overpass on Hwy 29 where the RR tracts cross by the paper mill.
I hope they don’t hire the same contractor who has been ‘working’ on Avalon in Milton for the past twenty or so years with no completion date in sight! What is the hold up?
Before everyone gets excited you might want to check with all the business’ , that went out of business , when they were ( and still are) widening Avalon Blvd, in Milton.
My hope is that they don’t spend all of the money and their time on the Beulah end and once again can’t focus on 9 mile between 29 and Pine Forest. This has been a problem long before Navy Federal was built in Beulah. Somebody local, please take charge and get this done.
