Hoff asks Legislature to OK 62.9 Million Bond for Vermont Roads
Gov. Hoff seeks a 62.9 million bond issue and taxes on gasoline and vehicle purchases to fund a broad seven year plan. The program aims to accelerate southwestern Vermont construction, complete the interstate system, and add four lane segments on U S 7 and U S 4, with completion targeted through 1977 and 1970 for key interstate pieces. Hoff notes net state cost at 128.8 million with 101.6 million financed by bonds and present revenues of 27.2 million. A new highway board member will be named during the session.
