Paving Project to Connect Savannah to New Orleans
A government funded paving program will create about 250 jobs in Houston County, Alabama, pouring 375,000 dollars into the area as the Dothan to Alabama line segment is paved. The work starts within 40 days, with 27 cent hourly wages for limited hours over six to eight months, to be handled through local agencies. The completed uninterrupted route from Savannah to New Orleans will attract many tourists, linking Savannah to Dothan and on to the Old Spanish Trail through Cottondale, Mobile, and beyond.
