Ex Member Defends 1965 Road Right of Way Awards
ALBANS UPD says 1965 highway board justified right of way awards to over 40 property owners in Franklin and Chittenden Counties. Frederick Fayette presented figures at a board meeting to counter claims of ineptitude and argued higher awards could have raised land-taking costs beyond the $304,000 paid. The bureau of public roads threatened to cut $582,000 in federal funds, as the department reviews cases to justify payments and regain funding.
