Favor Building Roadway With Federal Funds
Meigs County Commissioners and WPA officials studied a proposed hill road from Pomeroy to Middleport via Lincoln Hill. The route would offer a flood outlet for Middleport and be less flood prone than the Dead Man's Curve route. If built as a WPA project it would connect Union Ave to Lincoln Hill and Sugar Run while remaining mostly level for construction ease.
