MILLERSBURG A nearly $2.85 million paving project covering about 31 miles of county roads will be done by Melway Paving Co.
The Holmes County commissioners approved the contract Monday at the recommendation of county Engineer Chris Young. Funding for the work is from money set aside from a 0.25 percent sales tax.
Young reported the roads scheduled to be paved include county Roads 10, 23, 52, 88, 100, 101, 135, 186, 187, 230, 407, 620 and 622. This makes our roads a lot safer, said Chairman of the Board of Commissioners Rob Ault. You ve got the horses, you got the bicycles, and the cars; it just makes things a lot better for the people and their vehicle repairs from hitting chuckholes. It also makes it easier for emergency response.
