Delegation Presses Moravia Paving Tied to County Project
A 60 person delegation met with the County Board of Supervisors to urge paving the Moravia farm to market road. Officials said funding delays and the need to tie the Moravia strip to another project, plus rising costs, make solo paving uneconomical this year. They noted past plans and current traffic, and warned only a tied or federally funded plan could advance the work.
