Woolwich Highway Controversy Over State Aid Funds
In Woolwich a dispute over a four mile stretch of State Aid road prompts the State Highway Commission to consider reallocating funds. A proposed transfer up to 1500 from maintenance and up to 1500 from construction seeks to repair two miles used by River and Middle roads. Proponents argue this avoids backtracking on progress while critics worry about precedent and costs for Dresden and neighboring towns.
