Roads Become Uintah County's Chief Asset
Uintah County roads emerge as the main asset as the 1942 tax funds and state appropriations enable extensive asphalt paving in Ashley Valley and Vernal. The county completes over three miles of new pavement, reduces costs with new mining techniques, and expands road and seal coat projects funded by state and local coffers.
