Highway Dept pursues Peru road project in legal drift
The Vermont Highway Department seeks to proceed with a $100,000 federal aid paving project near Peru while a court battle over Act 250 permits continues. The department plans bidding within weeks and aims to start after December, as officials weigh injunction risks and Peru town support remains mixed following a May 1973 vote. The work covers 3 miles of paving, approach straightening, and a bridge reconstruction over Flood Brook.
