County road plan links Mills and Pottawattamie counties
Mills county supervisors consider a petition from about 200 landowners to create a county road across Oak and Platteville townships from Pacific Junction north through Old Pacific City Folsom and Island Park to the county line. Approval hinges on the Iowa State Highway Commission and a companion petition in Pottawattamie county. The project needs road fund spending on widening drainage and grading, with anticipated offset from future gas tax and a $16 630 22 reimbursement from primary road funds. If approved, it would connect Coynes Bluffs Pacific Junction Hamburg and Nebraska City for heavy traffic to central markets.
