County Aid on Sheffield Roads Requested
Sheffield village officials asked the County Commissioners for help in maintaining county roads within the village. They claim they can handle most work themselves. Abbesdam French Creek Rd are the two roads cited. The board took no action and said the village must pass a resolution to assume 3 percent of the cost with the county covering the rest. The proposal would then go to Donald Patterson, county engineer, to assess feasibility.
