Nice Work If You Can Get It Parrott Market Paved by State Crew
Raleigh County maintenance supervisor Minor Scott of the State Road Commission confirmed the SRC paved the parking section in front of Parrott's Market on the 1921 By-Pass Monday. Parrott furnished the material and the SRC crew did the work, earning state pay for the job. Scott noted this paying practice has occurred a few times on state right of way where the work benefits road shoulders, but said there would be too many requests to make it a regular practice.
