Williamson board denies bridge petitions in Johnston County
Williamson County Board denied a petition to replace a five year old culvert on Prosperity Road near Johnston City. Duane Leeds and a 235 name petition argued for a span bridge, but Highway Supt. Duane Wittenborn said a new bridge would cost 100000 and flood risk is low. The board approved adding upstream head walls and ditch clearance, with work to be scheduled later. Also appointed Dale Clark to Coal Valley Water District and reappointed Jerry Beers to Corinth Water District.

Regional planners of the United States Forest Service project Shawnee National Forest will see minimal growth in developed recreation but strong gains in dispersed recreation and mineral leases over 1982 to 2021. Enrollment in human development programs falls sharply, timber sales rise, road work increases, trails decline, and wildlife habitat gains shrink as grazing acreage rises.
