County faces loss of highway funds and 12 year plan
Delware County stands to lose about 303.1 million dollars in state and federal highway improvement funds over 12 years if a statewide move is approved. The plan lists 522 projects worth 140.8 million for federal and local funding while 1,336 projects needing 5.3 billion in state and federal funds would be placed on inactive status. Pulakos calls the revision realistic amid a highway fund shortage and urges gasoline tax action to finance new construction. In Paris, two Britons set three world balloon records distance altitude and duration after narrowly missing the Atlantic crossing. A distance of 1,999.5 miles altitude 12,998 feet and duration 96 hours 24 minutes were recorded.
