Winslow Long Valley Road Could Get 10000 Grant
The Forest Service plans to include a 10 000 survey fund in a deficiency appropriation bill for the Winslow to Long Valley road. Senator Carl Hayden says if approved Congress may act before adjournment. The Colton bill previously passed the House, but Section Four blocked Budget Bureau control over forest road spending. The survey would begin around July 1 and involves Navajo and Coconino counties as the highway moves toward forest highway status. The Winslow Chamber and county supervisors push for state and forest department support and eventual maintenance by Coconino County.
