He emphasized that Caldwell County Road Supervisor David Waldrum and his crew have prepared the roads for paving on two separate occasions, and the lack of progress is not due to any lack of willingness, capability, or effort on their part. Unfortunately, he added it has proven challenging to get contractors to undertake these smaller projects.
