County Roads Pay Their Way Across Several States
The U S Department of Agriculture reports road improvements raise land values and market prices. Examples include Lee county Virginia where 100 acres rose from 1800 to 3000, adjacent 188 acres from 6000 to 9000, and Johnson county Alabama where land value rose from 6–15 to 15–25 per acre after a 250000 bond. A Cotton market with better roads allowed one farmer to haul four bales versus one on a bad road, gaining four dollars versus one. In Sullivan county Tennessee a 100 bushels of Irish potatoes rotted due to inaccessible roads while market prices reached 1 40 per bushel.
