No More Gravel Road Petitions In Indiana Counties
The county board will not consider further gravel road petitions until townships can take on more financial obligations. Petitions filed already will exhaust available funds for the next two years, and roads may be chosen by voters later to ensure responsible public spending. Bridges and road maintenance costs rise as improvements continue.
