Erie County Federal Funds Idle Amid Construction Delays
Erie County's $18 million Federal fund for road work, allocated through the Pennsylvania State Highway Department, remains unspent this season. Erie County was slated to receive $245,000 for roads outside cities, $30,000 for extensions into municipalities, and $1,800 for secondary and township roads. While the West Twelfth Street relocation project nears agreement, no start has occurred on other funded items, prompting county officials to press for action and support.
