Warren County Eyes Paving Route 89 Help
A Warren County delegation met State Highway Commissioner Stewart in Harrisburg to seek aid for paving Route 89 to Grand Valley. If approved, the county would use 86 900 from its special road fund to cover 65 percent of costs, with the state funding the rest. The plan would pit three miles of county paving against two miles by the state, and the present route favored for its larger population. County Attorney Nelson spoke for the delegation, which included county commissioners. No definite promise was made, but officials were pleased and expect action soon.
