County Contributing More for Road Aid

Subhead
Portions of Marks Cemetery, Shady Grove Roads Scheduled for Repaving

RISON - County Judge Jimmy Cummings informed the Cleveland County Quorum Court Monday night that the county will have to chip in more than expected to complete a state aid project to pave portions of two county roads in the New Edinburg area.

Cummings said the state originally projected it would cost $447,00 to pave 1.75 miles of county roads but the latest projections now project that to cost about $472,000. Since the county is responsible for paying for a portion of the project, Cummings said the county’s match has risen from $40,000 to $52,000.

Plans are to pave about 1 mile of Marks Cemetery Road off the Hwy. 189 intersection, and about three-quarters of a mile of Shady Grove Road east of New Edinburg.
