County road projects to cost 200000 in Erie county
The state highway department announced two $200000 Erie county road projects to spur early Rice avenue subway work in Girard township and a second on Union City’s Wattsburg road. Major William H. Supple reviewed plans with county commissioners who agreed to consider land damages and a conference with state lawmakers on adding Rice avenue to the state system to unlock funds. If not added, the projects slip a year as federal funds remain unavailable. The proposal to have the county cover elimination costs was rejected by commissioners.
