Salisbury to Asheville Highway Convention Incites Road Link Building
The Salisbury to Asheville highway convention in Hickory on Sept. 1 will attract residents from across the region who seek to improve roads. The plan aims for each township to complete a link in the chain, with Rowan county already showing 12 miles of macadam and sand clay and six miles more to reach the county line. The Iredell, Catawba, and nearby counties show strong support for better roads, as Burke, McDowell, and Buncombe begin to mobilize. The costliest section runs from Old Fort to Black Mountain.
