New Road Through Charles City Would Tie Floyd Nashua Paving
City plans to finance nearly five miles of new highway linking Floyd County paving with Nashua roadwork. The route would turn north at Grayell station, run Court street to Tourist park, cross part of the park to South Grant avenue, and connect south of the Patten residence. State funding would cover most costs if an agreement is reached, with Court street favored for drainage.
