County OKs firm for title work in trafficway route
Douglas County Commission selected First American Title Insurance Co. of New York to provide title certificates for about 120 parcels along the proposed South Lawrence Trafficway right of way at about 125 dollars per parcel.

The board also approved 17 members for Horizon 2020 Advisory Forum and urged KDOT to upgrade a five ton limit bridge on U.S. Highway 59 to aid rural school transportation.
