Appalachia Development Bill Aims at Capital Improvements
Kenner Bush of The Messenger spoke at a Mayor's Advisory Committee meeting about the Appalachia Development Act. He described Route 682 extension plans, potential Athens site needs, and a federal program spending 840 million dollars over five years to fund 2350 miles of limited access highways and 1000 miles of access highways across 28 southern Ohio counties. The act stresses decentralized planning and development, focusing on growth potential and regional coordination rather than poverty relief.
