Rhodes Urges Southern Counties Get Moving on Highway Plan
Federal survey in Appalachia aims to map routes from Pennsylvania to Alabama with preliminary proposals due April 1 and a full study by August. Preston's firm will price 70000 to 103000 dollars funded by federal highway planning funds to identify economic growth areas and optimal routes aligned with President Johnson's Appalachia development program. Ohio plans a 144 million dollar start for Appalachian participation, with two main route concepts: Appalachian Way from near Cincinnati to Bridgeport and U S 50 improvements from Cincinnati to the West Virginia line. The effort targets easing unemployment and spurring long term development.
