Caldwell County is among 24 cities and counties across the state that have been approved by Governor Andy Beshear to receive a portion of $3.4 million dollars in discretionary transportation funding after asking for help to improve local streets and roads.
Governor Beshear made the announcement Thursday that Caldwell County was approved for $374,496. The county plans to use the funding to resurface three local routes: Scottsburg Road, Sugar Creek Church Road, and Friendship Road. In the county’s application, Judge-Executive Kota Young said the roadways were so riddled with potholes, cracking, and base failures that they posed “travel impediments and safety hazards to the constituents who utilize them on a daily basis for residential, commercial, school and general travel purposes.”
During his administration, Governor Beshear has reportedly approved discretionary transportation funding totaling more than $62.1 million dollars and awards have been made to all 120 counties in Kentucky.
