Possible Delay on Highway 13 Project
Highway 13 north of Marion may face delays due to federal regulations and Linn County Conservation Board hesitancy to spend for additional land. Grading is delayed this year and paving next year on this busy narrow route to Central City. The project holds through Ridge Park and HUD funded the land, with federal rules requiring replacement property. The highway commission needs about 18 acres, but state law limits land acquisition to right of way, creating a funding and replacement conflict. The board discussed a replacement land plan and a quick reply to the commission's request.
