Just catching up in the good news department ... In May, Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) Department of Rural and Municipal Aid officials attended the Mason County fiscal court meeting to announce $614,350 in discretionary funds for blacktopping county roads. Previously, officials made similar discretionary funding announcements in Greenup, Carter, Boyd and Fleming counties. Next week, Department of Rural and Municipal Aid officials will attend Lewis and Bath county fiscal courts to make funding announcements and Nicholas County as part of the Cabinet's "listening tour" program to get input on local transportation needs.June 6 at 6:41 PM Here's the news release from last month about the Mason County funding: **MAYSVILLE, Ky. (May 14, 2019) - During Tuesday's Mason County Fiscal Court meeting, Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) Department of Rural and Municipal Aid officials announced $614,350 in discretionary funds for vital resurfacing work on six county roads: Johnson Lane, Cabin Creek Pike, Murphysville Road, Polecat Pike, Weaver Road, and Nepton Road. Resurfacing repairs will address existing surface cracks, potholes, raveling and base failures. The more than half a million dollar investment supports Governor Matt Bevin's commitment to prioritize transportation infrastructure projects and increase economic opportunity across the Commonwealth. "The Bevin Administration continues to focus on taking care of what we have at both the state and local level to address critical infrastructure needs that improve safety and support job creation and retention," said KYTC Secretary Greg Thomas. "This funding builds upon existing transportation investments and allows the Cabinet to collaborate with local governments to identify projects that will have a large impact in communities." Mason County Judge-Executive Joe Pfeffer called the funding announcement an overwhelming opportunity for the county to improve some of its most critical roads. "The citizens of Mason County, county commissioners, and I would like to express our utmost appreciation to Governor Bevin, Commissioner Gray Tomblyn II, the KYTC Department of Rural and Municipal Aid, and KYTC District 9 for working with us and recognizing the need to improve the infrastructure of Mason County," said Judge-Executive Pfeffer. "Over the past several years, roads have deteriorated due to excessive rainfall. These generous funds will enable the county to complete resurfacing projects that otherwise would not have been economically feasible this year." Projects submitted to the Department of Rural and Municipal Aid for discretionary fund consideration were evaluated by the KYTC district staff to assess the condition of roads and determine the most critical needs based on factors such as safety, economic impact, and traffic volumes. "I'd like to thank the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet and Governor Bevin for prioritizing Kentucky's local rural roadways," said Sen. Steve West. "I look forward to improved road quality and safety conditions for drivers in Mason County." The six roads set to be addressed provide access to more than 150 homes and businesses. "I'm really pleased that these roads will be resurfaced, which will make them safer and easier to drive on," said Rep. John Sims Jr. "This work is a critical part of the state's ongoing effort to improve our infrastructure, and I'm proud to work with those in both the public and private sectors to make this possible." The Mason County Fiscal Court is responsible for administering the work, and KYTC will reimburse the county for the projects.
