Paved Roads to Emmetsburg and Estherville
A proposed paved highway between Emmetsburg and Estherville could reach the northeast Graettinger area, linking Emmetsburg with Spencer and Algona. Experts say paving costs about ten times gravel, with annual payments over forty years similar to dirt upkeep. The plan would raise heavy vehicle license taxes and faces much discussion before approval.
