Mercer Planning Council Focuses on Rural Phone Access
The Mercer County Planning Council, in its second annual meeting, pushes for rural telephone service and a county health unit.

The group also discusses health, farm contest plans, and a proposed Camp Creek State Park partnership while considering by law revisions for officers and committees.
