Petition seeks cement paving for Elizaville Road in Center township
A petition signed by 325 property owners requests the county commissioners pave the Elizaville road with cement from North Lebanon street to the Elm Swamp free gravel road. The petition argues the one mile route serves a US mail route, connects to a paved road and a gravel road, and would boost development and traffic for farmers and Lebanon residents. The auditor said the petition will go to the next board meeting on September 8.
