County Commission to examine I-10 resolution today
May 22, 2008
Houston County Commissions will look over a proposal for a joint resolution with Focus 2000, a non-profit agency spearheading the creation of a toll Interstate 10 Connector that would eventually connect Montgomery to the beaches of Panama City.
This type of public/private partnership, officials say, is the only way to get the interstate constructed. State and federal highway department officials have said they barely have the funds to keep up with maintenance, much less the construction of new roads.
Houston County commissioners will vote on the proposal at their regular meeting at 10 a.m. on Tuesday, May 27.
Geneva and Dale counties are considering similar resolutions over the next week, and Focus 2000 is also working with Florida counties to continue the process there.
