New Road Law May Be Invoked In Chehalis County
In Chehalis County some districts seek to use a new road law allowing petitions by owners of two thirds of highway frontage for road construction and maintenance. If recommended by the highway commissioner, county officials may adopt the plan, solicit bids, and set payment methods akin to local improvement districts with 15 percent assessed to abutting property and lands within three miles included. Payments may be split into ten annual installments with ten year bonds, potentially shifting costs to corporations while timber interests and farmers push for better roads.
