Meeting set to boost Jackson Highway at Chatom

A bridge at Jackson will be considered as part of the route which runs through sparsely settled areas. A permanent organization has not formed yet but county residents expect strong backing once the tour route benefits are explained. Scouts cars are slated to inspect the entire highway length by October this year.
